A recent Ombudsman's report details the appalling conditions faced by asylum seekers detained indefinitely on military vessels. The report reveals primitive, unhygienic, and severely cramped cells lacking basic amenities. These conditions are deemed inhumane and raise serious concerns about the government's treatment of vulnerable individuals seeking refuge. The report underscores the psychological and physical toll exacted by indefinite detention in such environments. While the report highlights the immediate suffering of the asylum seekers, it also implicitly criticizes the legal and political framework that allows for such practices. The findings are expected to fuel further legal challenges and public debate surrounding immigration policies and the treatment of asylum seekers. The Ombudsman's report serves as a critical documentation of human rights concerns within the immigration detention system. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/16/jnhf-a16.html
