Descripción:

In early October 2001, senior Government officials alleged that asylum seekers onboard SIEV 4 had thrown their children overboard in a ploy to secure rescue and passage to Australian territory. The Government released photos as evidence of this event. It was later revealed that the photos were taken during the rescue of passengers as the SIEV 4 was sinking.
