On
25th July, the District Court heard applications from twenty
asylum seekers defendants seeking bail in respect to charges of ‘Riot’ and
‘unlawful assembly’ arising from an incident on 19th July 2013. One
of the defendants was discharged when the prosecution sought leave to withdraw
the charges against him. On 26th July, the District
Court heard applications from a further 40 defendants. The cases
were presented by three court appointed lawyers for the defendants and
translators provided interpretation for the defendants.
The
Court considered issues raised by the legal representatives including the
presumption in favour of bail, the seriousness of the charges, the prospect of
re-offending, the oppressive nature of the current detention in which 150
asylum seekers are detained along with 16 prisoners in the Nauru Correctional
Centre. Further issues put to the court included the fact that there
is no accommodation available at the Regional Processing Centre and the
prospect of re-housing the defendants in tents will not be available until the
end of next week, beginning of following week commencing 5th August
2013.
The
Court refused bail in respect to three asylum seeker defendants. The
remaining asylum seeker defendants were granted bail to commence from 5th August
through to 8thAugust on strict conditions, requiring each of them to
enter agreements to not to commit offences and to obey any directions of staff
at the Regional Processing Centre and to attend court on 2nd September
2013.
