via VM Jay Williams on the claims filed in PNG by the asylum seekers on manus. What did you discover about the plight of asylum seekers on Manus Island, and will their claims be properly processed? The Barristers Rules prevent me from commenting in terms of my own personal views. However, in the writ of summons filed in PNG, it is alleged by the group of 75 detainees that the PNG and Australia governments have committed high international crimes - in particular: 1. The plaintiffs claim they were forcibly deported in violation of Article 7 – Crimes Against Humanity - of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. 2. The plaintiffs claim they are arbitrarily and indefinitely detained. 3. The plaintiffs claim they are detained in torturous, inhuman and degrading conditions. 4. The plaintiffs claim they are detained without access to legal representation, judicial review or a fair hearing. 5. The plaintiffs claim they have suffered serious and profound harm as a result of the alleged malfeasance by the Australian and PNG governments.
