SYDNEY (Reuters) -The first deportation of a person from Australia to the Pacific Island nation of Nauru under a billion-dollar deal to resettle non-citizens with criminal records raises "serious human rights concerns", Australia's Human Rights Commissioner said on Wednesday.
Australia last month agreed to pay Nauru A$2.5 billion ($1.6 billion) over three decades to host several hundred deported non-citizens.
