Muslim and Ah Neh asylum seekers sue Australian Govt - the hand that feeds them

Force 136 said:

Asylum-seekers including a six-year-old girl are suing the Australian government for compensation and medical care after they were allegedly injured while detained on Christmas Island, their lawyers said Tuesday (Aug 26).

Law firm Maurice Blackburn said a class action was filed on behalf of people who have been injured, or have seen their injuries worsen, due to the alleged failure of the government to provide "adequate medical care" in camps in the Australian territory.

"Too many asylum-seekers' health are being severely compromised by being in detention," Maurice Blackburn principal Jacob Varghese said in a statement. He said there was substantial evidence pointing to a "poor standard of health care and poor access to any specialist care". "Doctors who have first-hand experience of what it is like there say services fall well short of standards the Australian community expects."



Over the past several years thousands of people have been held on Christmas Island, in the Indian Ocean. There are currently 759 men, 97 women and 148 children in detention there, immigration figures show.
