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.

For the 123rd man on Manus Island

Dear Prime Minister,

And now another man from Manus Island detention centre is in danger of dying because he has an infected wound following knee surgery in PNG.

Are the men on Manus Island going to be allowed to die, one by one, in agony?
