Federal government facing legal action over Manus Island death Share
The family of an asylum seeker killed on Manus Island has commenced legal action against the Australian government.
The parents of Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati, who died in 2014 in the Manus Island riots, are suing both the Australian federal government and security contractor G4S Australia, alleging negligence in their son’s death.
Twenty-three-year-old Reza Berati was beaten to death by guards and other local contractors in a violent rampage at the Manus Island detention centre that left another detainee shot and 77 other asylum seekers injured.
