PM told: Bring Nauru rape victims to Aust

“The individual has been receiving appropriate medical and mental health support on Nauru”, a department spokesperson added.

Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has been calling for the woman’s transfer and said it should have happened immediately after the alleged rape.

A Nauru detention centre guard has reportedly been caught confessing to falsely claiming he was assaulted by an asylum seeker, a story that he repeated in court.

The woman was found running down a road partially clothed after she was attacked by a man while on day release, reported The Sydney Morning Herald.

‘The police investigation did not progress and Nauru police do not have the capacity to properly interview or forensically examine a sexual assault victim’.

Hanson-Young had previously accused the federal government of preventing the woman’s transfer, which the department has denied.

The Immigration Department said she was flown off the Pacific island by air ambulance on Thursday night.

Wilson Security denied those allegations, as well as others that the company had lied about the existence of a hotline for whistleblowers and drug and alcohol testing before July this year. The guard had been suspended on pay while the matter was investigated.
