Lawyers for asylum seekers on Manus Island are seeking to refile an application to Papua New Guinea's highest court for another bid to have them sent to Australia or another country. It follows the PNG Supreme Court's rejection of an application by more than 300 refugees and asylum seekers on what have been termed "technicalities." That application came after an earlier PNG Supreme Court ruling found holding people on Manus Island breached their constitutional rights to personal liberty and was illegal.
