"If a visit to Christmas Island sounds like fun, think again. A remote
tropical island in the Indian Ocean – billed as a birdwatcher’s paradise
and a haven for snorkelling – has a dark side. It is “home” to 1102
detainees seeking asylum, including 174 children; many are infants and
26 boys are unaccompanied minors."

A report on the immigration detention centre on Christmas Island.

Cheers,
