#IAmWatching Manus

The push is on to get medical help to the men on Manus. MSF still don't have access to the camps.

Manus Island: Top Australian doctors offer free medical treatment asylum seekers (ABC, 27 November 2017). Manus Island: health experts push for right to assess refugees and asylum seekers (GA, 27 november 2017). I don't like their chances of gaining permission: "We want to do an independent assessment so the Australian people can get a clear picture of what's going on." That's the last thing the government wants.

A refugee's pet dog was cruelly and needlessly killed en route to the new detention centre. This unrelated news item helped restore my faith in humanity a bit.
