Why

As the "Nauru files" dramatically reveal, thousands of innocent men, women and children are languishing in offshore concentration camps for years on end. These leaked files reveal thousands of incidents of abuse towards detainees at Nauru.

They include violent abuse, sexual abuse and psychological abuse. About half of the reports of abuse concern children. There are comparisons to be made with the outrages in Northern Territory juvenile detention which have so properly horrified Australians.

Join us to demand:

  • These camps be shut down.
  • All refugees and asylum seekers be allowed to live in the community in Australia while being processed.
  • Refugees be given permanent protection in Australia.
