Pole refugee broke the tunnel under the camp for the content of migrants and tried to escape from it. This is reported by ABC News.
The incident occurred at the Center for Foreign Citizens Jongan Hill (Yongah Hill) in Australia. According to the border service, the 40-year-old prisoner from Poland has broken a tunnel under one of the chambers using homemade tools.
It is noted that in the shoot planned to participate several prisoners at once, but no one could leave the camp. According to the information of the human rights organization, Refugee Action Coalition, prisoners worked on the tunnel for several months, notes ABC News. It is reported that the underground move has already passed two fences and reached three meters of depth. “Five more meters – and they would be for an external fence,” they emphasized in the organization.
The federal police of Australia is being investigated in the case. “All detainees are brought to justice and remain in conclusion,” said in office.
After the incident, part of the detainees were transferred to another separation of the Migration Center. Now there are about 350 migrants on the territory of Yongan Hill. More than half of them asked for political asylum in Australia.
It is noted that in 2013, a group of prisoners from Vietnam ran away from the center. They climbed through the fence.
