The Nauruan government has issued a blunt warning to refugees in its country planning protests to coincide with the upcoming Australian High Court decision.
Nauru's Justice Minister David Adeang said violence and unlawful acts will not be tolerated and these actions will only create unnecessary tension between refugees and locals.
Mr Adeang hit out at Australian refugee advocates and lawyers, accusing them of telling refugees the best way to get to Australia is to cause trouble in Nauru.
