Nauru

A public plea has been made in Nauru for the president to pardon a group convicted of offences over an anti-government protest.

The Nauru Government is lashing out because it has been called out for its bad behaviour, an Australian lawyer says.

The judge who convicted a group of anti-government protesters on Nauru has been accused of misapplying the country's bail laws.

The conviction of 12 Nauruan anti-government protesters is "appalling", an Australian barrister says.

Twelve members of the group known as the 'Nauru 19' have been found guilty of rioting and disorderly behaviour.

The trial of 12 people without legal representation in Nauru's Supreme Court has been called an "extraordinary breach" of individual rights and the rule of law.

Australia will reportedly seek agreement from New Zealand to resettle hundreds of refugees detained in Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

A verdict in a controversial court case in Nauru is expected late this week or early next week.

The Australian Senate has repealed the medevac laws which eased the transfer of sick refugees from Nauru and Papua New Guinea to Australia.

Independent Australian MP, Andrew Wilkie, has written to Foreign Minister Marise Payne pleading for her to intervene in the Nauru trial of the pro-democracy activists dubbed the 'Nauru 19'.

At least 20 refugees approved for medical transfer to Australia have been stopped from travelling by Nauru.

Sick refugees detained by Australia on Nauru have been refusing medical transfers to Taiwan.

A Nauru Supreme Court judge has dismissed another adjournment application by members of the so-called 'Nauru 19'.

An Australian lawyer, who has represented the so-called 'Nauru 19' in the past, says the rule of law on the island has completely broken down.

The Nauru Government is continuing to abuse the judicial process, a retired Australian judge says.
