The Forgotten Men of Christmas Island

Refugee advocates Pamela Curr, from ASRC, and Sr Brigid Arthur, from the Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project, traveled to Christmas Island to visit the men seeking asylum, who are currently held in the detention centre, more than 2600 kilometers from the nearest capital city, Perth.

There they found an environment of fear and physical violence where men seeking asylum face ongoing mental trauma and isolation, all while under the direct care of the Australian Government.

Join us as we hear from Pamela and Sr Brigid on conditions inside the Christmas Island detention centre, where people seeking asylum are languishing with little outside contact, difficult access to legal assistance and inadequate mental healthcare.

Together we can send a message that it is time to #BringThemHere.
