Nauru 19 pair seek asylum in Australia ahead of retrial that lawyers say is rigged
Squire Jeremiah and Rutherford Jeremiah are among the group set to face a new trial beginning on Monday
Two members of the so-called Nauru 19 have sought asylum in Australia ahead of a retrial this week. Lawyers say the trial has been rigged against the defendants, who have been denied any real legal representation.
Squire Jeremiah and Rutherford Jeremiah arrived in Australia just days before a government-imposed travel ban, and have sought asylum ahead of a new trial ordered to begin on Monday. They join the wife of the former president Sprent Dabwido. Dabwido died in Australia after seeking asylum.
