NSW:Detainees to sleep on roof for 6th night

The three detainees on the roof of Sydney's Villawood Detention Centre could be sleeping
on top of the building for a sixth night .. with no progress on negotiations to get them
down.

Social Justice Network spokesman JAMAL DAOUD says because of the way the immigration
department is handling the situation .. the men could be on the roof until at least tomorrow
morning.

Mr DAOUD says negotiators have told the protesters that a representative from the UN
High Commissioner for Refugees has arrived to talk to them .. but they don't believe it.

The Department of Immigration says security company Serco has been handling all the
negotiations and no details of the process can be revealed.
