New Zealand pilot freed 19 months after being kidnapped in Indonesia
India TodayNew Zealand pilot Phillip Mehrtens has been freed more than 19 months after being kidnapped by armed separatists in Indonesia's Papua, authorities said on Saturday. "His family will be absolutely over the moon," said New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters said in a press conference in Auckland. A range of New Zealand government agencies had been working with Indonesian authorities and others towards securing Mehrtens' release, Peters said earlier in a statement. In August, another New Zealand pilot, Glen Malcolm Conning, was killed by separatist rebels in Papua after landing his helicopter in a remote area, authorities said at the time.
