Amnesty asks public to get involved

Read storyAmnesty International has renewed it's calls for inspections at the Carmichael Road Detention Centre.

In a letter issued to media as well as several ministers, the group said it is concerned about reports that inmates, including women and children, are marched outside three times a day for head counts and are pushed around with officers guns.

Other reports include overcrowding problems, inmates sleeping on the floor and a lack of appropriate attention to asylum requests.

Amnesty International wants an independent investigation and has asked the public to request an immediate and thorough investigation into claims of abuse at the centre.
