Australie. Île de Manus : plus de 60 millions d’euros versés à des migrants maltraités

Manus payout : Government has avoided having its dirty secrets exposed

The Australian government this week agreed to what could be the largest human rights payout in the country’s legal history. A class action in the Supreme Court of Victoria on behalf of 1905 asylum seekers and refugees held at the Manus Island detention centre from November 2012 to December 2014 was resolved, on the eve of the hearing, for a reported $70 million.

UNHCR warns of escalating crisis on Manus Island

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is gravely concerned by deteriorating conditions at the Manus Island ‘Regional Processing Centre’, as authorities seek to relocate people to Lorengau or elsewhere in Papua New Guinea. The announcement of the closure of the Centre, in the absence of appropriate alternatives, is causing acute distress among refugees and asylum-seekers. UNHCR is deeply saddened by the tragic death of a young refugee yesterday, which also highlights the precarious situation for vulnerable people on Manus Island.
