Anger is also growing at the Salvation Army increasing its restrictions on asylum seekers use of the internet.<\/p>\n

The Salvation Army bosses of the computer room are calling security guards to the room to monitor the internet use by some of the asylum seeker regarded as ringleaders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe security guard sits behind me watching what I am doing and writing it down,\u201d one asylum seeker told the Refugee Action Coalition.<\/p>\n
The Nauru asylum seekers have already given the Salvation Army a protest letter signed by a majority of the Nauru detainees. \u201cUntil now, we have no response,\u201d one of the signatories told RAC, \u201cWe will give them another day or two to respond to our letter and we will protest.\u201d<\/p>\n
