The men, who were working for Naga** Production House, were flown out of the country on Thursday after being arrested while filming a documentary about tribespeople in the town of Wamena, said local immigration chief Yopie Watimena.
Indonesia is deeply sensitive about journalists covering the easternmost province, where a low-level insurgency against the central government has simmered for decades, and rarely grants visas for foreigners to report independently in the region. The men were deported just days after Indonesia hosted the United Nations’ World Press Freedom Day. Intelligence agency officials reported the documentary makers to immigration authorities after **ticing them filming and they were sent to Papua’s provincial capital Jayapura for questioning before being deported.
