Australia's High Court Challenges Nauru Detention
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Australias High Court is currently reviewing a challenge to the countrys policy of sending non-citizens to Nauru on long-term visas, focusing on a sixty-three-year-old Iranian man previously detained for murder. His lawyers argue that the interim arrangement is unlawful due to lack of procedural fairness, while the government maintains its validity and retrospective law change. The court must determine if it can review the issue, considering concerns about the mans severe asthma and the new laws authorizing removal despite potential risks. Since the arrangement, a new memorandum of understanding with Nauru has been signed, involving significant financial payments.
