A new video of the New Zealand pilot held hostage in the Indonesian region of Papua is circulating on social media.
Susi Air pilot Phillip Mehrtens was taken hostage by the West Papua Liberation Army fighters in February 2023 shortly after landing on a remote airstrip.
The video shows Mehrtens surrounded by armed men and comes with a claim that he has been given two months to live before he will be shot dead.
RNZ has been unable to verify the footage or when it was filmed.
