SOME POSSIBLY GOOD NEWS-

Latest on Nauru Communications

SOME POSSIBLY GOOD NEWS-

* $50 phone credit for Rontel will be or is being distributed by IOM
* Still waiting to hear how much actual call time this will buy.
* This is a once per month offer
* Lawyers have been able to talk to some of the Sri Lankan asylum
seekers.
* People are able to fax their phone numbers but so far no calls
have been returned. This may be because the phone credit is still
being processed.
* IOM are negotiating release from the camp so that the asylum
seekers are able to go to the one internet cafe on the island.

The bottom line is why send people to a place far from basic
communication facilities, legal advice and monitoring and scrutiny of
conditions- well silly question- we know why.
