On July 30 2016 I started writing letters to the Prime Minister of Australia to protest against the imprisonment and torture of the asylum seekers in the offshore detention centres of Manus Island and Nauru. I started with the intention of writing a letter a day for every person in detention until they are all freed. There are more than 1800 asylum seekers in off shore detention. These are those letters and any response from Mr Turnbull.
Dear Prime Minister,
The 44th asylum seeker on Manus Island is only 22 years old. His name is Imran Mohammad. His photo and story have been published on bringthemhere.org. He is not asking Australia for anything except safety.
Mr Turnbull, end the suffering that Australia has inflicted on Imran and all the other off-shore detainees and bring them here.
Yours faithfully
Ruth Halbert
