An Afghan refugee who brought a small boy into the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea a few weeks ago says he was only giving him food. The man says he is upset about indications from Australia's immigration minister, Peter Dutton, that local people suspected him of planning a sexual assault. There have been conflicting reports about how violence involving gunshots broke out at the centre earlier this month, on Good Friday. (april 14)
