Asylum-seekers branded a risk by ASIO appeal to UN


LMOST 40 asylum-seekers who have been denied visas after ASIO declared them threats to national security will today appeal to the UN Human Rights Committee in a bid to end what they say is cruel and unusual punishment.
The 38 asylum-seekers, most of whom are Tamils, will today ask the committee to direct the Australian government to release them into the community while a decision is made about whether their detention is lawful.
