Australia to imprison refugees on accusation, without trial

jeudi 19 décembre 2013 à 13:00

Australia plans to imprison refugees on accusation, without trial, by requiring them to sign a "code of conduct" in which they promise not to commit crimes.

This means that if they are accused of crimes, rather than trying them like anyone else, functionaries can decide they have "violated the code of conduct," cancel their visas, and imprison them right away.

Meanwhile, the government has changed another "code of conduct", for ministers, to allow them to own stock in businesses.

Since these ministers were chosen to serve the interest of business anyway, if they have another personal reason to do that it might change nothing.
