#Manus_Island asylum seeker alleges New Zealand guard used brutal force
Sustained and brutal force was used by a New Zealand security guard during violence in the Manus Island detention centre that killed one asylum seeker, a witness has alleged.
The asylum seeker witness, whose name has been suppressed, says the guard came into his dormitory room on the second night of the violence in February and began hitting his brother, who has diabetes, before turning on the witness and five other asylum seekers.
“[My brother] said to him ’I beg you, don’t hit me because I am sick, I have diabetes’,” the witness said. “But he hit him with force and said to him ’I hate asylum seekers’.”
