Blog: Dear Prime Minister

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.

End offshore detention.

Dear Prime Minister,

On behalf of the 381st man on Manus Island and all detained there and on Nauru, end offshore detention of asylum seekers. Australia's borders were never threatened by refugee arrivals. There is no reason that justifies the torture of children, women and men. Every day the atrocities continue. Bring them to safety and freedom.
