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,
This is Nauru. Australia illegally imprisons refugees here and tortures them. Listen to the voice of one of the young women who is surviving there. She says:
“We are ready to die”
“What is the point of surviving at sea if you are dying slowly and painfully every day. I wish I was dead in the sea.”
This is our responsibility. What are we doing about it?
