Fed: Ship will not violate detainees human rights: Ruddock
Attorney General PHILIP RUDDOCK says a proposed floating detention centre to hold illegal
fisherman .. wouldn't violate anyone's human rights.
He's told ABC TV .. it'd be appropriate accommodation for people to be held for a relatively
short period of time .. so border controls can continue.
The government's proposed leasing a private vessel to act as a temporary detention
centre for illegal fishermen and asylum seekers intercepted in waters north of Australia.
People suspected of fishing illegally would be detained on the boat for several days
.. before being transferred to onshore processing centres for possible charges.
