Treating asylum seekers' rights as dispensable and inferior has become a common pattern within the Australian legal system, human rights lawyers say.

OZschwitz asylum seekers denied rights, lawyers say Art-691860971-620x349

Following revelations that Australian Federal Police officers have systematically failed to offer asylum seekers under criminal investigation the opportunity to take part in identification parades, legal practitioners in the field said this was part of a broader denial of legal rights to this group.

''This is part of a broader and deeply concerning trend of treating the basic rights of asylum seekers as dispensable,'' the director of legal advocacy at the Human Rights Law Centre, Daniel Webb, said. ''For good reason, criminal law contains strict procedures and safeguards. You can't just ignore them because an accused person happens to be an asylum seeker. All people must be equal before the law.''
