2002
Abstract
In January this year over 200 detainees at the Woomera detention centre in South Australia went on a prolonged hunger strike. The protest was reportedly in response to delays in the processing of applications for asylum and the conditions under which asylum seekers are detained, During these protests a number of people were treated for dehydration. At the time there was debate about whether they would have to be force-fed.
