1 killed, 77 injured in violence at Australia’s PNG camp

One asylum seeker has been killed and 77 injured during a second night of violence at Australia’s immigration detention centre in Papua New Guinea.The man died of head injuries on the way to hospital, Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said.Thirteen people suffered serious injuries, including two who are being transferred to Australia for treatment, one with a gunshot wound, according to the (BBC).He said the injuries occurred outside the camp, after the men broke out.Australia sends asylum seekers arriving by boat for detention and processing in offshore camps in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific territory of Nauru.Conditions in these camps have been strongly criticised by UN agencies and rights groups.“This was a very dangerous situation where people decided to protest in a very violent way and to take themselves outside the centre and place themselves at great risk,” Morrison said.Security outside the centre in Manus Island was the domain of the PNG police, he said.
