INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT
READING THE NAURU FILES 2019

The Nauru Files are leaked reports from staff (Save the Children teachers,
caseworkers, recreational staff and some may have been written by security)
relating to abuses, self-harm, and neglect of refugees, including children,
who have been detained for 6 years and indefinitely by the Australian
Government. Refugees and people seeking asylum who tried to reach Australia
by boat on or after the 19th of July 2013 were deported by the Australian
government to camps on Nauru and Manus Islands (3-4.500km away from
Australia). Currently, 12 people have died and mental health has reached
alarming and catastrophic levels on both prison-islands.

This networked performance commemorates 6 years to the day of the
“indefinite detention” of people who attempted to arrive by boat to
Australia since the 19th of July 2013 and have been sent into “offshore
processing centres” on Nauru and Manus islands.

By reading this document we hope to urge the Australian politicians to:
- Close the camps
- Bring people to Australia to be processed fairly and swiftly
- Speak to and about refugees and people seeking asylum with respect and
humanity, respecting the Rule of Law, the International Human Rights Chart,
the 1951 International Refugee Convention & 1967 Protocol.

This networked performance builds on previous Reading the Nauru Files
networked performances, which were:
- a 24h networked performance live on Facebook with 50 people from around
the world on the 19 July 2018 commemorating 5 years of "indefinite
detention"
https://www.facebook.com/events/281177502625005 and
http://suzonfuks.net/reading-nauru-files-2018
- an 18h networked performance live on Facebook by James Cunningham and
Suzon Fuks on 19 July 2017 commemorating 4 years of “indefinite detention”
http://suzonfuks.net/reading-nauru-files-2017

The Nauru Files were first published publicly by the Guardian and are
available online https://www.theguardian.com/news/series/nauru-files


TIME OF THE EVENT
This 24-hour event will begin at 9am Nauru time, on 19 July and end at 9am
on 20 July 2019. As this is a networked online reading, the start times and
dates vary depending on your time zone. Please find the start times and
