Manus Island asylum seekers dig in at detention camp.mp3

Yesterday, the Australian run detention centre on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, was shut down after PNG's supreme court ruled its existence unconstitutional.

Around 600 asylum seekers are determined to stay in the detention centre, due to fears of violence by locals and police.

There are reports of the refugees filling rubbish bins with rainwater, due to the water supply being cut-off and reports of locals looting the camp.

Producer Reuben McLaren spoke to Amnesty Internatonal's Kate Schuetze, who is currently on Manus Island, to find out more.
