FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

The asylum seekers staged a riot on Friday night. Reports say most of the buildings of the facility including the accommodation blocks, medical centre, dining hall and offices were destroyed.

“Today was history. The biggest riot ever to be staged on Nauru soil. The most violence I’ve seen. Amazing support from local(s) to the police,” said a witness on Saturday.

On Friday, Australia’s Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed an agreement with his Papua New Guinea counterpart, Peter O’Neill, to send all asylum-seekers arriving by boat to the poverty-stricken island nation.

“From now on, any asylum seeker who arrives in Australia by boat will have no chance of being settled in Australia as refugee,” said Rudd.

He added that anyone assessed to be a refugee would be permanently settled in Papua New Guinea and those whose applications are not successful would be sent back home or to third countries.

After the announcement, the Coalition for Asylum Seekers called the measure shocking, and said Canberra has decided to shirk from its responsibilities assigned under the United Nations Refugees Convention.

Other rights groups including Amnesty International and the Refugee Rights Action Network have also criticized the deal.
Australia struggles to curb a dramatic increase in the number of boats arriving in the country with refugees.

More than 15,000 asylum-seekers have arrived so far this year. In 2012, the country received 16,000 asylum requests.
