SA: Protesters break through police barriers

Around 500 protesters are just metres from the entrance of the Baxter Detention Centre.

A spokesman for Project SafeCom Inc, a Western Australian protest group, says the protesters
have marched through a human road block and are currently pressed against a temporary
fence, approximately 10 metres from the detention centre gates.

The spokesman says mounted police and police bearing riot gear are on the other side
of the fence.

He says police confiscated kites and placards from protesters as they moved forward.
