Because Australia is a signatory to the Declaration of Human Rights, along with Sweden, which affords people. regardless of their status as 'citizens' certain rights due to their status as human beings, these people are currently being denied those rights.
Also, I guess by your logic, the Australian soldiers who surrendered at Singapore, 'putting themselves at the mercy of others' and were then treated with horrific brutality have shouldn't have been outraged...
Wasn't the fault of the perpetrators or anything...
