Give them a choice - suck it up, starve, or return to the countries they came from. #auspol #BSWNBPM #sameoldlabor #springst #countryshoppers -More than 250 asylum seekers are on a hunger strike on Manus Island over their frustration at being held in detention for the past 17 months and without being given any guarantee about their futures, refugee advocates say. The asylum seekers, all believed to be men from Pakistan, Syria, Iran and Iraq, have been protesting since Wednesday. In addition, two men have sewed their lips shut over that fact that only 130 of 1200 detainees have been processed in the past 17 months. Those that have been processed have been offered a 12 months temporary visa, which they will need to reapply for annually. They will be given about 100 Kina (about $46) weekly for an undisclosed amount of time before being expected to find a job.- smh.au/national/manus-island-detainees-on-hunger-strike-refugee-advocates-say-20141206-121mj3.html?&utm_source=social&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=nc&eid=socialn%3Afac-14omn0013-optim-nnn%3Anonpaid-25%2F06%2F2014-social_traffic-all-organicpost-nnn-smh-o&campaign_code=nocode&promote_channel=social_facebook
