Nauru says UN detention centre inspectors weren't invited, questions cancellation as 'publicity stunt'
The Nauru Government has questioned whether a United Nations inspection team is using the Pacific island nation for a publicity stunt.

Human rights inspectors, from the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, have had to cancel a trip to Nauru to investigate the conditions of more than 1,100 asylum seekers sent by Australia.
The inspectors had just completed a two week tour of New Zealand at the invitation of the government and were about to fly to Nauru to inspect the Australian run immigration detention centre.

However, the visit was suddenly cancelled earlier this week.
The Nauru Government says it did not invite the group and it says it read about its intentions in the media. 

A government spokesman has told the ABC that, "Given the way they have gone about this, it is reasonable to question whether this is merely another publicity stunt by a group with a political agenda."

At a press conference in New Zealand the Working group's leader, Mads Andenas, said Nauru had changed positions.
"The government of Nauru, which invited us, have asked us not to come," he said.
"They cite practical reasons for it not being suitable or practical for us to come."

The Australian Government says it was not involved in a decision to cancel a United Nations inspection of Australian-run immigration detention facilities on Nauru.......
