Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On 14 June 2019, the Department of Immigration received a homeless Australian man, Michael Charles, for questioning. He was arrested by Daun Penh police in Phnom Penh for having no passport and no visa. He said that he arrived in Cambodia in 2017, but he is now homeless and he lost his passport last month and has no money to pay for a visa.

The homeless and penniless Australian is being held at the immigration detention center and will be deported.

Most likely it will not be possible to get a flight to Australia for at least 6 months.

I believe it is wrong to lock people up in uncivilized conditions, when it is not possible to get a flight home. Cambodians don't value people the way we do, and don't understand just how uncivilized it is to treat people the way they do when locked up in Cambodia.

I think he should be allowed to be homeless until it is possible to get a flight to Australia.

I am sure he gets a little money begging. But not much.

How utterly ridiculous. More of your racist nonsense, what do you expect the authorities to do? Put them up in a 5 star hotel? Can you please explain what happens to foreigners without documentation in Australia? Obviously not, maybe try reading this:
The Australian Human Rights Commission’s report on the use of force in immigration detention is the latest chapter in a now familiar story of excessively harsh, punitive and degrading conditions in Australian immigration detention centres.

Once again, we see a disregard for the rights and basic dignity of people who have sought our protection and committed no crime.
Australia urged to pay compensation for unjustified use of force in immigration detention.


The report lays bare the unnecessary handcuffing of women, children, people in wheelchairs, people with mental illness and no history of violent behaviour, and other people needing medical care. It confirms what our clients have been telling us: that handcuffing has become a routine practice for transfers between centres and, alarmingly, for off-site medical appointments. This includes transfers for torture and trauma counselling, in private doctors’ waiting rooms and at consultations where the very purpose of the appointment is to investigate issues such as wrist and arm injuries.

But the report goes much further than the overuse of handcuffs. It highlights demeaning breaches of privacy. It exposes violence inflicted by officers in the name of compliance when other options were available. It details the use of guards in balaclavas and heavy armour to move family groups, including babies and young children, from a family compound in a pre-dawn paramilitary-style operation.

To CEO posters, please check the date of the thread before you comment. Some CEO posters are bumping up old threads as if they are new, but chances are that, in this case for example, the person concerned was deported to Australia over a year ago. There was no covid-19 pandemic at the time of the OP.

You didn't care to check on the conditions in your own detention centers either. :?
