Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia hit highest level since 1980
The number of Indigenous people who have died in custody in Australia has hit the highest level since records began in 1980, BBC reported.
New data from the Australian Institute of Criminology showed 33 of the 113 people who died in custody in the 12 months to June this year were Indigenous, up from 24 compared to the previous corresponding period.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, making up more than one-third of all prisoners, despite being less than four per cent of the country's population, according to BBC.

Manchester City rally to beat Real Madrid 2-1 at Bernabeu
Nico O'Reilly's opportunistic strike and Erling Haaland's penalty helped Manchester City to fight back to beat Real Madrid 2-1 in a tense Champions League contest at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, Reuters reported.
Rodrygo opened the scoring with a low shot from a counter in the 28th minute, with City looking exposed almost every time Madrid ventured forward for the first half an hour.
But Madrid pressed the self-destruct button, first when goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois spilled a relatively easy header from Josko Gvardiol, with O’Reilly converting the rebound in the 35th minute, according to Reuters.

A total of 7,344 different types of violence against women (VAW) cases were reported to the National Women's Commission in the past six years.
The complaints were made from various parts of the country to the toll-free helpline established by the Commission.
Of the registered cases in the last six years, 88 percent were reports of domestic violence against women. According to Commission Secretary Rekha Kandel, the age group of women who were reported to have been subjected to violence is between 26 and 40 years.
The data of the past six years of reports received to the Commission's helpline 1145 also states that women with low literacy rates are more likely to be subjected to violence.
This information was shared during an event held on Wednesday to mark the eighth establishment day of the 'National Women's Commission, 1145 Free Helpline Service'.
In the last fiscal year, the Commission stated that 1,202 complaints of violence against women were registered in connection with domestic violence and deprivation of women's rights.
Commission Chairperson Kamala Kumari Parajuli expressed her commitment to work actively in the field of women's rights in the coming days as in the past.
