Subject: Nauru contract
I am utterly dismayed
to learn that your company has accepted a contract to maintain the misery and
torment of asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru. Are you not aware of the many
reports from international bodies and from our own Human Rights Commission
which rightly conclude that the conditions under which these people are
unlawfully detained amounts to torture? Other Companies have decided to
withdraw from their involvement in this abuse. By taking on this contract, you
will be complicit in the abuse and torture of the detainees, who have broken no
laws and who have fled violence in their home countries to seek safety on our shores,
as is their right under international law. You will pay a high price for your
collusion in this appalling situation, which has already led to physical and
mental abuse, self harm on a massive scale and numerous deaths. Shame on you.
Clearly money comes well ahead of principle and humanity.
