Amnesty International has accused Australia of turning the island of Nauru into an open-air prison to house refugees and asylum seekers. Amnesty said the conditions on the tiny South Pacific island amount to torture.

Anna Keistat: “What I found on Nauru was shocking—the level of mental trauma, the level of physical illness, the daily assaults and a complete failure of the authorities of the police to do anything about this, the daily humiliation and abuse that refugees and asylum seekers are subjected to.”
