Australia

30 detainees are staging a protest at the Baxter Immigration Detention Centre in South Australia. A Baxter detainee says a group of detainees blocked the front gate of the detention centre, and others are on a hunger strike, following suicide attempts by six detainees in the past week. Western Australian human rights group Project SafeCom said detainees had tried to hang themselves, while others had slashed themselves with broken glass and mirrors. The Centre is run by UK-based GSL Ltd. More on this story at Melbourne Indymedia
