Australia counter-sues minors abused in Northern Territory prison

‘Australia has launched a counter-suit against two of the six aboriginal children recently revealed to have been abused by prison guards, alleging the minors had damaged the prison in an escape attempt.
Footage broadcast recently showed minors purportedly being abused at the hands of guards, who were seen hooding the youths, strapping them to chairs naked or half-naked, and throwing them into a cell by the neck at the Don Dale Youth Detention Center.
The victims filed lawsuits against the center and the guards, seeking compensation. Court documents from their legal complaint “outline in vivid detail mistreatment by staff at the facility, including beatings with batons and the use of teargas,” according to Reuters.’
