Fwd (GLW): Outrage as Baktiyari boys jailed again

Outrage as Baktiyari boys jailed again
BY SARAH STEPHEN
The forced return of Alamdar and Montazar Baktiyari to the Woomera
immigration prison - which dramatically unfolded on news telecasts on July
18 - has horrified millions of people across Australia and the world. It was
a graphic illustration of the cold-hearted inhumanity of the Australian
government's treatment of refugees.
Both children, held in the desert prison for 18 months, had voluntarily
taken part in two hunger strikes. Alamdar, the older of the two Afghan
asylum seekers, had attempted suicide twice. The two boys escaped from
Woomera detention centre during the Easter break-outs, and again on June 28.
