Irishman faces jail for assisting refugees escape
Jonathan O’Shea was charged by Australian authorities yesterday with helping the refugees escape the camp in Woomera, South Australia, the scene of a number of riots and hunger strikes since it was opened in the Australian outback.
Australian police say they have video evidence of O’Shea, a graphic artist from Kilmoney Heights, Carrigaline, Co Cork, handing wire cutters through the fence at the Woomera compound which led to the escape of 35 refugees in June.
