Why suicide?
Turnbull to immediately intervene on Nauru.
However, the Nauruan government urged advocates to stop giving refugees and asylum seekers false hope and "stirring up these protests"The local government said in a statement on Monday it was distressed that refugees were attempting "dreadful acts" to influence the Australian government's immigration policies.
It's the second such incident on Nauru within a week, after a 23-year-old Iranian man, known as Omid, set himself on fire during a visit by United Nations refugee officials to the island.
The Refugee Action Coalition identified the female refugee injured on Monday as Hadon, and said she was one of three refugees returned to Nauru last week, after being taken from Brisbane's immigration transit accommodation.
The advocates said she was brought to Australia in November after suffering a head injury.
Senator Hanson-Young said she had been told the woman had burns to 70 per cent of her body.
"The situation on Nauru is spiralling dangerously out of control," she said on
They're committing suicide, not trying to influence the government as the Nauru authorities claim. Once someone dies they have no chance of getting asylum.ffs what a terrible assumption. I heard that its basically a concentration camp. They're not deported back to Somalia because it's still illegal to do so, and they won't grant them asylum because Australia has strict immigration and asylum laws. It's actually one of the toughest countries to gain citizenship even as a first world country citizen.
It is strict, but not that strict. All you need is a degree, a couple of years of work experience and a decent IELTS test score. Many UK Somalis could easily apply for migration to Australia. I wonder why only so few do it? It's basically the UK in the sun.
That's pretty fucking strict.
