Iran's official IRNA news agency is reporting the country's foreign ministry has summoned the Australian ambassador to protest death of an Iranian who had sought asylum in Australia.
The Tuesday report says the ministry's consular director, Hosein Mirfakhar, expressed Iran's "protest and discontent" to Paul Foley about the asylum seeker, who died during a violent protest in a detention camp run by Australia in the South Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea. (AP)
