Refugee advocates say up to 400 asylum seekers on Christmas Island are now involved in a week-long protest against their detention.


About 70 detainees began a sit-in last week to mark 100 days since the death of Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati on Manus Island earlier this year.


The ABC was told the protests had expanded, with hundreds of detainees demanding a resolution to their claims for asylum.


Earlier, Sarah Ross from the Refugee Rights Action Network said a number of detainees had sewn their lips together.

SAG-AFTRA Reaches Deal For KOIT-FM San Francisco Announcers

sagaftra2 SAG-AFTRA negotiators have reached an agreement on a new contract, but not for a new film and TV pact. Those film and TV talks, now wrapping their fourth week of bargaining, are expected to go on for several more weeks under a news “blackout.” But the union has reached a deal for announcers at KOIT-FM radio in San Francisco after a federal mediator was called in to help kick-start the stalled negotiations. The new deal there calls for 2% increases on a wage escalator for those currently working at the station; agreement for additional compensation prior to reuse of programming material outside of the market and for the reuse of material post-termination; improvements on severance beyond company policy; and increased pay for part-timers. The new deal must still be ratified by the station’s broadcasters.
