The Guardian has published leaked incident reports from Australia’s detention centre on Nauru. The reports (2116 in number, of which more than half involve children) detail a catalogue of assaults, sexual abuse, self-harm attempts, child abuse and effects stemming from squalid living conditions. We want to send a message to the government and opposition that the abuse, assault and conditions detailed in the Nauru reports must end, and that they must take responsibility for their poor decisions and the culture of secrecy that has been created around immigration detention. Most of all, we want to see Australia’s offshore detention camps shut down immediately.
