Its seems like Australia is getting crueler and colder by the minute. No one wants to hear the voice of trauma and suffering anymore. Reluctant and deaf. Cruelty is coming to be the destiny of our humanity.

The police have confirmed that the death of the Rohingya refugee was caused by suicide. They tortured him by ignoring his severe illness and after five years of suffering, he choose to kill himself today. I am lost for words...shame on all those who have abandoned humanity.

The refugees are deeply saddened by the news of another death. All of us knew him and we were aware of his illness. He occasionally used to pass out and needed urgent medical treatment. But the Australian immigration chose to ignore him. His death is the seventh one on Manus.

Police is now investigating the case of the refugee who died today on Manus. Two years ago he was sent to Australia for medical treatment but they sent him back to Manus again without providing him with medical treatment. He was suffering for a long time.

The Rohingya refugee who died in Manus today had a long history of Epilepsy. Doctor4Refugees organisaton has all the information about his illness. Apparently he jumped out of the moving bus and was face-planted into the ground after he was hit by the wheels.

Sadly this morning a Rohingya refugee died in Manus. It’s still not clear whether he commited suicide or it was an accident. I will write about the incident in detail soon when I have accurate information.

No one on Manus and Nauru is keen to go to Australia if we go to New Zealand. Let us go and finish your official hostage holding. For a long time the Australian government has lied about New Zealand's offer. NZ has today made clear there are no excuses.

It’s always hard to criticise the ones who support you, but for a long time I have had the urge to do this, to give a new perspective on Pen. Here I also proceed to censorship in Australian media regarding Manus and Nauru.

Here is Aljazeera’s report on Australia reducing healthcare for refugees in Manus island, while most of the Australian media are silent about it. Lets not forget that ten people died on Manus, Nauru and Christmas lislands so far under IHMS care.

A journalist asked me in an interview to identity a brave individual human rights defender in Australia. I answered “In my view those unknown people who stand up against this barbaric policy are the bravest, not those people who have high level positions.” This is the reality.

Israel kills innocent Palestinians, Turkey kills decent Kurds, Iran kills its own people, Australia kills helpless refugees. They’re all the same in violating human rights and concocting justifications.

Australia has damaged innocent people on Manus then left them without medical treatment. How many years do you want to continue this barbatic polocy? How many years the mainstream media want to be silent?

This story is only a small fraction of the history of gay men’s suffering on Manus island. In this article, I’m trying to explain how the struggle and pain of gay men became even greater than always in the Manus prison.

Here is another interview with ABC radio about the current state of the refugees on Manus Island. (Not impressed with the title though)

Now that America is rejecting the remaining refugees, its time to accept the New Zealand offer. We are recognized as genuine refugees and have the right to start a new life. You can’t make decision for life of refugees while you keep them excluded from basic human rights.

Peter Dutton is a lier and a failure. He announced the deal with America as confirmed two years ago but after two years America is now rejecting applications of those from his travel ban countries. All the remaining refugees have been recognized as genuine refugees, let us go!

There is huge worry in Nauru & Manus about US deal. Many Iranian & Somali refugees in Nauru given rejection notices from US. It means US considers the countries banned. Its time for that the Home Affairs minister takes responsibility & makes his plan clear.
