"They were first approached by immigration police who told them they have no right to be outside of the detention centre. They were quickly then joined by PNG police. Subsequently they were quite savagely beaten and then taken into police custody. There are no particular charges, but there are quite serious injuries inflicted on these two people for absolutely no reason."

"It looks like one of them has got a broken nose, the other possibly a broken wrist. The wrist is swollen and malformed. One thinks he may have a broken jaw. He has not been able to move his jaw. He has not been able to drink or eat while he has been in custody."

"What happened to these two young fellows is not anything that doesn't happen to our people when they get out of line. They get the same treatment. And to defend my policemen, here in Manus we are outnumbered, we are undermanned, and in situations like this, there is no option but they have to be brutal to put an end to what they're doing really quick. And that is the fact of life in Papua New Guinea at the moment. This is not Australia. if you're in Papua New Guinea you abide by PNG law."
