The violence showed the detainees needed to be resettled and integrated quickly, human rights lawyers said.
'A small-scale war' had erupted between 320 ethnic Chinese-Vietnamese sent to the camp recently and 600 long-term Vietnamese refugees, said human rights lawyer Pam Baker, who heads Refugee Concern.
As Hong Kong's United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) director Terence Pike met Pillar Point management, lobby groups called for a quick resettlement of residents here, starting with the issuing of identity cards.
The Government has been considering the proposal for more than six months.
Deputy Secretary for Security Timothy Tong Hin-ming, who met Pillar Point's Caritas management yesterday, said Hong Kong settlement was only one option being studied.
Mr Pike said the solution was local integration.
