Amnesty terms Australia's immigration regime 'torturous'
UK-based rights group Amnesty International has condemned Australia's offshore refugee detention centre in Nauru calling it an “open-air prison” which is akin to "torture". Amnesty said that the refugees are attacked with impunity and this is "a system set up to cause deliberate harm to people”. Amnesty added that suicide attempts, including among children, were common at the detention centre.
