VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: PUNISHMENT CELLS AT HIGH ISLAND CAMP
1 MR MAUDE HAS RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A BRITISH NGB ALLEGING
-
THAT A YELLOW CONTAINER HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE HIGH ISLAND CAMP,
INTO CUBICLES TO BE USED AS PUNISHMENT CELLS. THE LETTER CLAIMS
THAT FOR SEVEN MONTHS OF THE YEAR THE CUBICLES WOULD BE EXCESSIVELY HOT, AND THAT THEIR USE WOULD BE INHUMANE. AS YOU KNOW THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL REPORT ALSO REFERS TO SUCH CELLS. 2. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH IN THIS ALLEGATION, AND FOR MATERIAL WE CAN USE IN A REPLY.
