SYDNEY (Reuters) - An asylum seeker was killed and at least 77 injured in the second riot this week at a detention centre in Papua New Guinea used to process asylum seekers, Australia's immigration minister said on Tuesday.
Minister Scott Morrison said the riot began when detainees forced their way out of the centre, but refugee advocates said it was triggered when Manus Island residents and police stormed the facility, attacking the asylum seekers.
