UN reports expose conditions in Australia’s offshore refugee camps - World Socialist Web Site

Two reports released in late November by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reveal the plight of asylum seekers banished by the Australian government to the remote Pacific island of Nauru and Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island. The reports describe a monitoring visit to the detentions camps by UNHCR observers in October.
Following the lead of the previous Labor government—which reopened the camps last year—the Abbott government is deliberately using the primitive conditions in them, combined with indefinite incarceration and a ban on any detainees ever living in Australia, to deter all refugees from seeking asylum in Australia.
