Second breakout from Australian refugee camp
Another group of refugees has broken out of a camp in Australia -- the second break-out in two days. The refugees -- mainly from the Middle East -- broke out of the Curtin Detention Camp in the the far north west of Australia. In South Australia, several hundred people -- mainly from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq -- broke out of a camp at Woomera yesterday and spent the night in a supermarket car park. They're protesting against conditions at the camp and delays in processing their applications for refugee status. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
