Three detainees at Sydney's Villawood Detention Centre have been protesting on the roof of the centre.

One of the detainees involved in the protest, Bruce Ngarama, claims he was the victim of an attack by another detainee, who has since been deported.

Police have confirmed there was an incident at the centre earlier this month when a man suffered serious stab wounds.

Mr Ngarama says the protesters are threatening to harm themselves.

"We got nooses on our necks, we're ready to die," he said.

"I am, myself because the value of my life here in this detention centre means nothing to the management here or Immigration themselves."
