September 3, 2018

A Moroccan asylum seeker has died in Western Australia's Yongah Hill detention centre, where angry inmates later started a fire.

The man was found dead in his cell on Sunday afternoon, the Refugee Action Coalition said in a statement.

"Detainees were angry at the news of the death, saying that authorities had ignored the dead man's pleas for help," spokesman Ian Rintoul said.
