Villawood stand off continues

A dangerous stand off is continuing at Sydney’s Villawood detention centre this afternoon with 11 asylum seekers maintaining their rooftop protest. Yesterday a detainee jumped from the roof and died from his injuries. This prompted more protests and police have been trying to negotiate an end to the crisis. Several Tamils and one Afghani are still on the roof and reports suggest the situation is deteriorating, with some threatening self harm. A short time ago Mark Robinson spoke with Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition.
