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.
