Dear Prime Minister,

Azzam el Sheikh https://www.facebook.com/eyesonoffshore/photos/a.1858384557764481.1073741828.1804425649827039/1864217363847867/?type=3&theater

Dear Prime Minister

To search content of 'Dear Prime Minister' blog:

On July 30 2016 I started writing letters to the Prime Minister of Australia protesting Australia's indefinite detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru. There are more than 1500 asylum seekers trapped in offshore detention since 2013. These are transcripts of those letters. I am still waiting for a response from Mr Turnbull.

Australians, please add your voice to the growing protest. Join a group, make a donation, lobby your politician. Overseas readers, please lobby your government to boycott Australian arts, sport or business.
