AFP, Papua New Guinea :
Manus Island is one of two remote Pacific camps used by Canberra in its punitive off-shore detention policy.
One person was killed and 77 injured during a second night of rioting at an Australian immigration detention centre on Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island, officials said on Tuesday.
Thirty-five asylum-seekers broke out of the same facility on Sunday evening, with several hurt, as tensions escalate about their fate under the Australian government’s hardline policies.
Immigration minister Scott Morrison revealed there had been a rolling series of largely peaceful protests, starting a few weeks ago, that culminated in the violence of the last two nights.
