End offshore detention #327

Dear Prime Minister,

Congratulations to Abdul Aziz Muhamat, a refugee on Manus Island, and the team* behind The Messenger podcast, for winning the prestigious 2017 International Radio Program award and two gold medals in New York last week. He is another of the articulate, educated people we lock away indefinitely in offshore detention who has found a creative way to be

"a powerful advocate for those held in the arcane world of Australia’s offshore detention. He is a messenger, and his story is compelling."

Australia's crimes cannot be hidden, Prime Minister. Close the camps and bring them here.
