Manus Island violence: interpreter claims detainees attacked by locals, 'There was blood everywhere'



Papua New Guinea locals employed by security guards at the Manus
Island detention centre attacked asylum seekers with machetes, knives
and rocks, an interpreter employed by the Australian Immigration
Department has claimed.



Azita Bokan alleges asylum seekers used plastic chairs as
shields when they were attacked by locals who entered the centre on
Monday night.
