| Subject: OZschwitz gulag: Iraqi asylum seekers on hunger strike 'to death' Sun Apr 04, 2010 11:06 pm | |
| ABOUT 10 Iraqi detainees were pledging yesterday to maintain a hunger strike until death, in the latest eruption from distressed asylum seekers at the Christmas Island detention facilities.
The incident comes a day after a larger group of more than 20 asylum seekers pledged a hunger strike, and a violent incident in which sources said a man punched and kicked a security guard.
After a day of intermittent but heavy rain on the Indian Ocean island, nine men could be seen under unfurled banners in the high-technology detention centre at North-West Point.
