ABC makes an effort to explain the legal issues raised by the interdiction & detention at sea of asylum seekers. The asylum seekers lawyers are asking the High Court to make a number of orders, including: •A permanent injunction preventing the Government from handing the asylum seekers over to Sri Lankan authorities; and •A declaration that the Governments screening process was not lawful and did not meet the requirements of procedural fairness. Mr Merkel told the court on July 8 that the legal question at stake was whether Commonwealth officials could return the asylum seekers to Sri Lanka against their will before their claims to protection from a genuine threat of persecution have been determined in accordance with the law. abc.net.au/news/2014-07-14/fact-file-asylum-seekers-fate-in-high-court/5581926
