*Ø* ~~flotilla~~ update
We have spoken here before of the ~~flotilla ~~ that has sailed 4,000 km to Australia's internment camp on the Pacific island nation of Nauru.
They have sailed to protest against the Australian Government's detention of those who arrive in Australia by boat and without papers, and to present gifts from people who care. Unfortunately, these brave souls have been turned away by the Nauru authorities.
Yesterday, BBC reported that they would be allowed to meet Nauruan representatives offshore, but latest reports say that this did not happen. No doubt the Australian government sent out its orders. Meanwhile, three Iraqi detainees enter their fifth day of a hunger strike.
