Papua New Guinea closed detention center: refugees are involved in protest action

The anti-refugee campaign has been launched against the closure of the Papua New Guinea detention camp.

International news reports say they are engaging in peaceful demonstrations.

Refugees have claimed that their possessions were looted by local residents after the security forces fired from the camp premises.

Refugees have been accused of violating human rights if the refugee camp is closed.

Refugees who seek refuge in Australia by boat can be detained in detention camps in the Manus Islands and Nauru Islands of Papua New Guinea.

The detention camp has been closed since the Regional Court ordered that the Papua New Guinea was set up contrary to the camp law.

Refugees have said that refusing to protect the water and electricity from camps is a violation of human rights.

More than 600 refugees have been detained in a refugee camp in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea.

The Manus detention camp was opened in 2001 and closed in 2008 and reopened in 2012.

The number of detainees who were detained in the first camp in 2013 killed 6 people.
