I read a couple of the entries on the Nauru files while I was at work a couple of days ago and it was just inhumane to say the least. The absolute hell that these people are trapped into. To think that a big number of these refugees are children just wanting to be free and get an education. A lot of the entries on the Nauru files dealt with people contemplating suicide just to escape the horridity of it all.

I'm so ashamed of my country. And it destroys me that so many of my family and friends support this.

That's so sad. People are being treated like this and haven't done anything wrong.

It's awesome that people are mobilizing in this way.
