Circulating video shows the current condition of Susi Air's pilot who is being held hostage by armed criminal groups (KKB) as well as the Papua Mardeka Organization (OPM).

The pilot named Capt Philips Marthens will be released if Papua has been declared independent. The OPM asked for the involvement of the United Nations (UN) to smooth their wishes.

"I have been ordered by the OPM to read the statement. No foreign pilots are allowed to work and fly in Papua to Free Papua," said Capt Philip in a video circulating, Friday, March 10.

In the video, Capt Philip was ordered by OPM to read the writing in a piece of paper as if it were in a forest area with a high tree background.

The New Zealand pilot is among the OPMs who on average carry firearms and are dressed in military motifs combined with traditional clothes. Meanwhile, Capt Philip wore a blue jacket with trousers and shoes.

Capt Philip also said the OPM called for the intervention of the United Nations (UN) to be the party that can mediate for their main purpose in liberateing Papua.

"OPM asks the United Nations to mediate between Papua and Indonesia to work together for the sake of Papuan independence," he said.

In the paper that was read, it was also written that the hostage-taking of foreign nationals alias foreigners would continue to be carried out by OPM against Capt Philip until Papua was declared free from the Republic of Indonesia.

"The OPM will release me after Papua's independence," said Capt Philip.
