INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT
READING THE NAURU FILES 2020

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 7 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 7 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.

NOTE: SINCE LAST YEAR, children formerly detained on Nauru, are now in
community detention in Australia, and men who were still on Manus, are now
detained in Port Morsby. Altogether, 400 people are today unlawfully still
detained offshore. #7yearsTooLong #GameOver

THIS ONLINE READING builds on previous Reading the Nauru Files networked

- A 24h networked performance live on Facebook with 70 people from around
the world on the 19 July 2019 commemorating 6 years of "indefinite

http://suzonfuks.net/reading-the-nauru-files-2019/

- A 24h networked performance live on Facebook with 50 people from around
the world on the 19 July 2018 commemorating 5 years of "indefinite

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”
