A Bangladeshi Refugee Has Died on Nauru

A Bangladeshi refugee on the Pacific island of Nauru died Wednesday from suspected heart failure, the Australian government said, amid rising protests, including acts of self-harm, by people on the island who are sent there after trying to reach Australia illegally by boat.

A statement from the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection said the man, 26, admitted himself to the Republic of Nauru Hospital on Monday with chest pains.
