Asylum seekers riot at detention camp

Asylum seekers held at a Papua New Guinea detention center briefly took control of two compounds and expelled guards following the death of a refugee who fell ill at the center, Papua New Guinea police said on Sunday. Senior Sergeant Thomas Lelepo, from Lorengau Police Station on Manus Island, said guards at the Manus Island regional processing center were expelled by residents last night. "There was a situation there ... over the death of a resident," he said, adding that order had been restored.
