Indonesia is systemically failing refugee and asylum seeker children who seek protection within its borders, and is responsible for "routine brutality" inflicted upon minors in Indonesian immigration detention, a damning new Human Rights Watch report says.

The government has transferred a significant number of children and families, as well as some adult males, from detention facilities at Manus Island in a move understood to affect the majority of family members on the facility.
Guardian Australia has learned that the transfer involves 70 detainees, including around 40 family members to Christmas Island.

More than 1,300 immigrant minors were held for periods of three days or more in adult detention centers from 2008 to 2012, according to data released by an immigrant rights group Tuesday.
The data, obtained by the Chicago-based National Immigration Justice Center through a Freedom of Information Act request, raises questions about how children are being handled in a backlogged immigration detention and deportation system that has expelled undocumented immigrants at a record-setting pace since President Barack Obama took office.

More than 1,300 minors — including several dozen 14 or younger — were held for days in immigration detention facilities for adults over a four-year period when the Obama administration ramped up deportations, according to a new report by an advocacy group.
The proposed immigration overhaul in the Senate aims to improve detention conditions for immigrants without legal status, but critics say the stiffer enforcement of border security will create additional backlogs for already overcrowded facilities.

"The systematic detention of irregular migrants has come to be viewed as a legitimate tool in the context of European Union (EU) migration management, despite the lack of any evidence that detention serves as a deterrent." This is what François Crépeau, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, told EU home affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmström at the presentation of his latest report on 30 May in the European Parliament.

 THEY are bored, they can't sleep and they don't understand what they are in detention for. Children's Commissioner Aileen Ashford met  29 of the 137 unaccompanied minors living at Pontville last week.And while what the unaccompanied teenage  asylum seekers of Pontville really want is to be told they can stay permanently in Australia, they would be happy in the mean time to be able to attend school and play soccer and cricket.

 Teenagers being held at the Pontville detention centre are "bored with life" because of a lack of stimulating activities, says the state's Commissioner for Children Aileen Ashford.
Ms Ashford, who today addressed reporters about her recent visit to the immigration detention centre, said 136 unaccompanied minors, aged between 13 and 17, were living in the facility without adequate intellectual or physical stimulation. This was having a profound impact on their mental health.

Italy is summarily returning unaccompanied migrant children and adult asylum seekers to Greece, where they face a dysfunctional asylum system and abusive detention conditions, Human Rights Watch said in a report published today. Stowaways on ferries from Greece, including children as young as 13, are sent back by Italian authorities within hours without adequate consideration of their particular needs as children or their desire to apply for asylum.

Opinion: Legislation gives government unprecedented power to order prolonged arbitrary imprisonment of refugees, including their children


With reports that Canada incarcerated 289 migrant children in detention facilities last year, Canada’s increasingly questionable policy of detaining refugee claimants, including children, is again in the spotlight.
In response to media comments that refugee children languish in detention, Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews and Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney explain that the practice of detaining refugee claimants and refused claimants is not new in Canada.

Keeping someone in immigration detention can cost up to £40,000 a year

Immigration officials must improve how they deal with people in detention so they are not held for longer than necessary, say two watchdogs.
The inspectors of prisons and immigration said most decisions to detain were justified.

“I feel bad being in the detention center apart from my son for almost two months. I just missed him. I just lose him.”

Separated and scarred – a story of Mexican detention

“I feel bad being in the detention center apart from my son for almost two months. I just missed him. I just lose him.”
“I cried a lot because it reminded me of when I was locked up in the kidnapping.”

One of the reasons the detention of migrant children can be so devastating is that it is used on those who have often experienced the worst of life already.

At 16, Carolina left Honduras looking for a new life. By train and foot she made it to Tealpas, on the Mexican-US border. She was just kilometers from the country of her dreams.

But it would be two months of horror before she crossed the border.



In Tealpas, Carolina was kidnapped and transported to a house where she would be kept in the dark with 80 other people. That is where she saw first hand what no child should see.

“I’ve asked myself why? Why do they detain you? If supposedly one is free.”





When he was first captured by US officials, Sergio was kept in the so-called ‘ice box’, a room without any windows or natural light, where people don’t know what time of day it is. Detainees also report that the air conditioner is turned up, which makes it hard for them to sleep.

THE United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has sharply criticised the federal government for leaving in limbo the asylum seekers who have arrived since its August 13 announcement of offshore processing.
It said it was increasingly concerned about the unresolved status of these more than 5700 people being held in detention in Australia and Nauru.

Diane Taylor conveniently ignores what really matters (Still locking up children (BELOW), 24 October). Children of asylum seekers used to be in detention centres, sometimes for many months. They had bad facilities, and care and understanding for their plight was not there. Now, when it is decided that a family be returned to their country of origin, families with children go to the Cedars asylum centre before departure.

Lawyers for Human Rights is the only non-governmental organisation regularly and consistently working in immigration detention centres around the country. With its twelve-year track record and ongoing direct contact with large numbers of detainees, LHR has unique first-hand information on detainee experiences, conditions of detention, immigration trends and shifts in immigration policy and practice. This is especially important given the lack of other independent monitoring of immigration detention facilities.
