Writing from Manus prison: a scathing critique of domination and oppression. Behrouz Boochani spent almost five years typing passages of his book into a mobile phone. The result resists classification

I'm an Australian.

The fact that the situation exists, and that the transfer was mishandled as well, and oh so many things about this whole crapheap make me unspeakably angry.

Breaches of human rights, broken laws and enormous cultures of abuse have occurred. It was obvious that they would occur.

To do what?

Stop the boats? Which make up so little of immigration to Australia? Illegal or otherwise.

In 2014, arrival numbers fell again and there was only one boat arrival in Australia.

That's from the government's own information page.

They've take advantage of the situation, to torture and dehumanise people, as nothing more than a political ploy.

This book gets to details the horrors... Horrors that exist so that we can have campaign slogans.
