Police in Papua New Guinea have removed some of the men who have been refusing to leave the decommissioned detention centre on Manus Island. Witnesses have reported seeing several busloads of men driven from the centre. Iranian refugee and journalist Behrouz Boochani is among those who have been removed. For three weeks, the men have been refusing to leave the centre which was shutdown on October 31st. They've argued that moving to new accommodation in the main town of Lorengau would put their safety at risk.
