The group of seven West Papuan asylum seekers deported by Australia to Papua New Guinea say they feel powerless and afraid about what will happen to them.

The seven, who arrived in the Torres Strait last week claiming to be fleeing persecution by the Indonesian security forces, were transferred to Port Moresby by Immigration officials.

The International Organisation for Migration says PNG Immigration officials are handling the process to determine the basic details of the group.

One of the group, Yacob Mandabayan, says that since they reached Australia a week ago, they've been denied access to a lawyer and left in the dark about what's happening.

"We are feeling afraid because a lot of Indonesian people here (in PNG). So we are afraid of everything because until today we have had no contact from Australian Immigration." Yacob Mandabayan says they are afraid of being repatriated.
