the validity. the government said that the claims are unsubstantiated. are you sure what people are saying is going on really is? >> we have no doubt that this is actually what is going on. we have firsthand communication with many children and families in detention. in fact, the best of our knowledge, there are many more cases of abuses than were revealed in the report. many children are fearful speaking out against these abuses due to consequences, cultural issues. we would say apart from the 67 allegations, there are likely to be many more. >> thank you very much. the government has said that this report is part of the campaign against their policies. they have said they will look at the recommendations contained in it. there is no sign that the camp will close down entirely. the private company that operates in the camp was on monday award ads further five year contract to continue running these centers. so although the new answer, the
