Media needs improved access to asylum seekers in detention: experts

Description

Greater transparency and improved access for the media to interview asylum seekers in detention is required say human rights lawyers, after three separate incidents of self-harm at the Nauru processing centre.

One man attempted self-harm on Thursday and another two did the same on Saturday according to an Immigration Department spokesman, who told the media no further details could be supplied due to privacy reasons.
