Australian Detention Center Crisis Worsens    Submitted as: Newton Steven
It seems that the issue with regards to Australia immigration centers are far from over. After the incident that occurred in an immigration detention center in the city of Darwin earlier last month, several more incidents occur at other centers these past few weeks. And authorities are now trying to resolve these cases. It can be recalled that around a hundred Indonesian detainees staged a riot in the Northern Immigration Detention Center in Darwin last Aug. 30. A day after that, on Sept. 1, a group of around 90 Afghans, also detained at the center, broke out of their holding rooms and also staged a protest. Both groups were protesting their alleged illegal detention. An earlier incident took place last April, when five Iraqi detainees staged a hunger strike at the Christmas Island Immigration Center. The detainees were protesting the delays in their application for asylum. They were also fearful that their applications might be suspended, after processing for Afghan and Sri Lankan refugees were suspended earlier that month. The Christmas Island center is one of the two remaining offshore processing centers in the county (the other is located at the Cocos Island). The latest incidents concerning immigration center detainees occurred at the Villawood center in Sydney. The protests begun when a group of mostly Sri Lankan detainees took to the roof of one of the buildings in the center last Sept. 17 and stayed there for more than 30 hours. The group were later convinced by authorities to stand down. However, another group of detainees followed suit a few hours later. This time around, nine Chinese nationals, one of whom is pregnant, also took to the centers roof, and stayed there for several hours. Earlier, a Fijian woman jumped from the top of one of the buildings in front a crowd of horrified onlookers. According to Australian immigration law, those who are caught entering Australian territories without a visa are automatically arrested and detained to any of several centers in the country prior to the hearing of their case. However, this policy has been highly criticized by several groups as being unjust. They also argued that, with the slow processing times (some detainees have been in the centers for several years now) congestion is a big problem here that needs to be resolved. The series of protest of inmates served as a wake up call for the Australian government. Authorities are now trying to come up with solutions to hasten the processing of refugee application. However, it is unlikely that a good setup will be delivered anytime soon. And for refugees, this would be another long waiting game.(read entire article)

People Await Lifting Of Australian Visa Ban    Submitted as: Newton Steven
With the tightening of immigration rules, Australian visa application has been quite a hard process to go by. However, there are in fact even harder problems to encounter for those wishing to enter Australia. And one of these potential problems is not being issued a visa outright. Indeed, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship has been plagued with concerns about the visa bans that it has issued on certain countries this year. These concerns came not only from the countries affected, but also other groups who are worried about the repercussion of the bans. They are urging the Australian government to reconsider this bans and change their minds about this. One of the most notable of these bans was the one imposed on Sri Lankan and Afghan asylum seekers that was implemented last April. According to immigration officials, the said ban would last for six months and would cover only those people arriving without proper documentations. Authorities said that the main reason behind the move was because conditions on Afghanistan are already improving and that many people from oversees have already started to return there. However, the Afghan government protested on the move and said that it is in violation of international human rights laws. According to Abdul Rahim, then the acting minister for Afghanistan’s refugee and repatriation department, people have the right to choose a place where they can claim asylum. He further added that Australia, as a signatory to several international treaties with regards to the treatment of asylum seekers, has the obligations to abide with these. Some observers have also seen the ban as a move to appease the Australian public’s concerns with the growing number of immigrants in the country. This one has in fact, been a major topic for debate in the country’s policy making arena, as various groups contend that there is a need to clamp down on illegal immigrants, while others say that this must be closely studied first in order to separate legitimate asylum seekers from those who are only seeking a quick entry. Other groups go on further and argued that the move was a political one, intended by the ruling Labor Party to attract votes during the elections. However, immigration officials are quick to allay these claims, saying that the ban is necessary in order for them to have time to assess the asylum claims that have already piled up in the immigration department. As it is, the ban is yet to be lifted, and those wishing to enter Australia will have to wait until that time.(read entire article)
