In a news brief, there are about 100 Indonesian citizens who are under 18 years in adult prison. Children who generally come from the region bordering eastern Indonesia that Australia was accused of helping illegal immigrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan entering Australian waters illegally.

Detention of children from Indonesia in adult cells is under fire from the Australians. Alliance for Human Rights in Australia asked his government to immediately release the 100-kids because it is still a minor. "Most of these children had not previously been involved legal issues, and they all come from the poor," said a spokesman for the Alliance of Human Rights, Gerry Georgatos.
