PNG: Doubts about stories of live burial of HIV affected people
Updated
The National Aids Council of Papua New Guinea says it doubts reports that people with HIV/AIDS are being buried alive in the country's southern highlands. Earlier this week a volunteer AIDS worker in PNG claimed she witnessed people being buried alive by family members. The claims have prompted calls from the World Health Organisation for the PNG Government to prioritise AIDS awareness.
