"Everyone I know who went through this “offshore detention” scheme has since been diagnosed with PTSD. I think we need a new term for what we experienced, like Manus disease or offshore detention syndrome. Even people who just spent a month there are still suffering.
Not knowing when you’ll leave — it’s worse than any prison sentence. It destroys your mental health.
Nowadays, I work with the Salvation Army, and volunteer to help Ukrainians in France who fled Russia’s invasion. Ukrainian refugees are protected by the French government — every refugee should be treated that way. They should be given a chance to live and build a future. I also provide support and counseling for people on Manus Island and those who left but are still suffering.
I still have my own struggles with depression and mental health, but helping others in my situation lifts me up.
It was torture what the government did to us. They were saying it was deterrence, but it never worked. It hasn’t stopped people from trying to get to Australia to seek protection because they have no choice. Instead, it has become a stain on Australian history.
I hope no European country ever adopts this policy"

The decision “sends a clear message to all states: Where there is power or effective control, there is responsibility.”
“The outsourcing of operations does not absolve states of accountability. Offshore detention facilities are not human rights-free zones.”

CW: Human rights abuses against refugees 2/12
Behrouz Boochani arrived at Christmas Island (controlled by Australia) but was forcibly relocated from here to another country, ultimately being detained on Manus Island, PNG, in an Australian-funded and operated concentration camp. Along with hundreds of other single men, he was locked up there for over six years, without access to lawyers, adequate healthcare or nutrition, or potential for actual refuge and freedom. Meanwhile, many hundreds of women, children and families were being similarly detained in an Australian-run and funded camp on the micronation of Nauru.
According to the Australian government, Behrouz's only options were to return to Iran, where his life was in danger and most of his colleagues had disappeared, or to rot in a tropical prison in conditions worse than those experienced by convicted murders in Australia. Australian government ministers (under a succession of four PMs from two parties) repeatedly pronounced that there was no chance that any of those locked up on Manus Island or Nauru would ever come to Australia.
