Asylum Seekers, Of Unknown Religious Affiliation, Burn Down Detention Center
Shocked, I tell you. Shocked!
Asylum seekers detained in Australia have reportedly gone on a rampage and burned down much of their immigration detention center in Sydney, in one of the most serious cases of such unrest.A quarter of the 400 mostly Middle Eastern asylum seekers held at the Villawood Detention Center in the city's west took part in a night-long riot, DPA reported.
Detainees reportedly turned violent after their requests for asylum were turned down.
More than 6,000 people are being held in immigration detention centers in Australia, a coveted destination for asylum seekers from poor and war-torn countries like Afghanistan and Iraq seeking to start a new life.
I usually don't jump to conclusions, but today I say, "Itsda Jooooos".
