Three asylum seekers have begun a rooftop protest at the Villawood Detention Centre in Sydney's west.

There are also claims of confrontations involving police at the centre's perimeter fence and that fires have been lit.

The ABC understands the protesters on the roof are all male and have been held at the facility for about a year.

"There are fires burning in the ground of Villawood detention centre, it's outside stage three," said George Georgiadis, a protester outside the centre.

"The protesters broke through the Commonwealth barrier and risked fines to go and meet the guys on the fence.

"The detainees have been throwing chairs over the fence. There has been shouting and there's fires burning as we speak."

The Department of Immigration has not returned the ABC's calls.

Earlier today Immigration Minister Chris Bowen denied Villawood detainees were on a hunger strike following the suicide of a fellow inmate.

Iraqi man Ahmad al-Akabi, 41, was found dead in his quarters at the detention centre on Monday night.

His was the second suicide of a detainee at Villawood since September.

The more that die then that will help battle the congestion from overpopulation, and saves building extra facilities too
These illegals are so considerate arent they.

Before they die, can we get them to dig their own graves....preferably near the vegie patch cause blood and bone makes great fertiliser...and with Gillard spruiking her crap then it doesnt get any better than that!

Thousands have died just listing to Gillards voice, ... and she's only been PM for 3 months.

Gillards parents were found buried in their backyard with earmuffs mummified to their skulls.

Rest their weary souls..

mellie I suggested to pansi this morning he open his home as well as his heart, but I dont think he was that interested..

to be honest havent we got enough violent people in this country, I think these people are getting the wrong advice..I dont like being blackmailed and I dont like violence..this would automatically put them on the next plane home if it was up to me.. they if you like to be unkind are biting the hand that is feeding them... and its not our choice, they c hose to come here.. unlawfully.

I totally agree with you on this Cods.

They are making a mockery of our system, are abusing our hospitality, and our government are serving as their enablers, placing them before existing Australians.

Disgraceful.
