Radio Australia reports that the processing of asylum seekers sent to Nauru by the Australian government “may be six months or more away yet”.
This is according to a spokesperson for Australia’s Immigration Minister.
Major Paul Moulds, of the Salvation Army, is quoted as saying that the uncertainty is having a detrimental effect on the behaviour of the asylum seekers, some of whom have protested peacefully about the indefinite delay in their processing, and some of whom are on a hunger strike.
