AB  - This report details Indonesia’s poor treatment of migrant and asylum-seeking children.
Indonesia detains hundreds of migrant and asylum-seeking children each year without giving them a way to challenge their detention. They are kept in sordid conditions, without access to lawyers, and sometimes beaten. Others are left to fend for themselves, without any assistance with food or shelter. Indonesian law permits up to 10 years of immigration detention. They arrive in Indonesia after fleeing persecution, violence, and poverty in Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Burma, and elsewhere.
