A 17-year-old boy is among a group detained inside the regional processing centre on the remote pacific island of Nauru.

He is one of 11 people, all Tamil speakers, who were taken to Nauru on September 7 under the offshore processing system set up by Australia.

These are the first people transferred to Nauru since 2014.
