Latest Manus detainee death prompts renewed calls for action

A Papua New Guinean politician has joined calls for action from the Australian government following the death of another immigration detainee on Manus Island. It's being claimed a 27-year-old Sudanese refugee - who died in a Brisbane hospital after apparently suffering seizures before Christmas - was denied adequate medical treatment for a prolonged period of time.
