Senior Director for Research at Amnesty International
The Australian Government is forcing 1,200 men, women and children searching for safety in Australia to live in appalling conditions in Nauru which is essentially like an open-air prison for them. I’ve investigated horrific human rights abuses in countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Zimbabwe and China, but this is one of the worst situations I've seen for refugees. The people I met in Nauru made a deep impression on me. I kept thinking what a great asset all of them could be to any community. I met engineers, nurses, teachers, student leaders and even governors. I met very strong and outspoken women with admirable courage and resilience. They’ve escaped nightmares in their homelands only to meet with more suffering in the Australian Government-run centre on Nauru.
