For the 163rd man on Manus Island

Dear Prime Minister,

A weeping heart drawn by a detainee on Nauru.

On behalf of the 163rd man on Manus Island and all other prisoners of Australia on Manus and Nauru I enclose a drawing done for Penny Ryan's "The Confined Hearts Project" by a detainee on Nauru.

Their heart weeps because of our cruelty. Close the camps and bring them here.
