Select Committee on the Recent Allegations relating to Conditions and Circumstances at the Regional Processing
Centre in Nauru
PO Box 6100
Parliament House
Australia ACT 2600
27.4.15
Dear Sir/Madam
The Australian Churches' Refugee Taskforce is an initiative supported by the National Council of Churches in
Australia, and the Steering Committee is comprised of 22 leaders who represent nine Christian churches and three
ecumenical bodies. The Taskforce has a further 540 Christian entities who are network members.
This submission addresses lb, lc,ld and if of the Terms of Reference, and asks the Select Committee to:
A. investigate the neglect and abuse outlined in 13 letters sent to the Taskforce by asylum seekers and refugees
on Nauru last year. In particular, the Taskforce asks the Select Committee to respond to the alleged rape of a
single mother (allegedly witnessed by two people) that is described in Letter no.8. This letter pertains to an
asylum seeker who remains in detention, whilst the alleged perpetrator has been released into the Nauruan
community on a Nauruan refugee visa. This rape and the so-called investigation are described in paragraphs
3.16 to 3.24 of The Moss Review, which found that "the Nauruan Police Force investigation continues".
B. investigate and respond to all of the examples of abuse and neglect contained in the letters, which can be
summarised as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

15.
inadequate access by children and parents to drinking and bathing water, coupled with filthy bathrooms,
which leads in turn to infections which, especially in women, can lead to infertility;
expired and rotten food given to children and the other detainees, causing gastroenteritis;
children and pregnant women describe the cuts and "burning" of their feet, and joint pain, due to the
viciousness of the hot gravel and rocks they are forced to walk on due to inadequate footwear;
children who are "hunger-striking" — the letters describe three children and four adults who have sewn their
lips together;
severe and acute weight loss;
children who have significant untreated health issues, including those illnesses related to exposure to
phosphate dust;
absence of support for children with behavioural problems, and the degree to which this long-term
detention contributes and causes behavioural disorders in children;
a joint letter outlining an intent to die rather than being sent to Cambodia;
seven children who have tried to commit suicide;
fourteen adults who have tried to commit suicide;
heat stress/exhaustion;
infestations in the tents of rodents, spiders and other vermin;
inability of disabled asylum seeker parents to care for their children and lack of support for the disabled;
intent to suicide in the form of a Last Will and Testament; and
pleas for help to be provided to the pregnant women who are detained in the camps.
C. the Taskforce also calls on the Select Committee to recommend urgent interim measures to be implemented in
the Nauruan context to protect women and children — both asylum seekers in the OPC and refugees in Nauru from more of the abuse that was described in the Moss Review and which has previously been communicated
to the Government of the day in a plethora of reports.
In support of this submission, please find attached:
1.our letter sent to The President of Nauru, HE Baron Waqa, via the Consul General Mrs Chitra Jeremiah;
2.the response from the Nauruan Department of Justice and Border Control; and
3. translations of 13 letters from asylum seekers and refugees in Nauru, received by the Taskforce on 21st October,
2013 (the Taskforce also has copies of the original letters).
Please note that as soon as the attached letters were received, the Executive Officer of the Taskforce made several
telephone calls to a range of senior DIBP staff in Canberra with requests to meet, and to alert them of the dangers
being faced by women and children in Nauru. Several requests were also made to relevant staff such as the Acting
Assistant Secretary for Offshore Operations, Ms Kylie Scholten, to ask for a meeting to discuss the need for urgent
protection measures to be taken. All of these requests were refused. Therefore, representation was made to the
President of Nauru, the Australian Prime Minster and the Secretary of the DIBP.
The response from the DIBP was then to ask that the Taskforce forward the letters to Mr Moss. Unfortunately, no
urgent or interim measures were recommended by the Moss Review to protect women and children from the
abuse he uncovered, and conditions in Nauru remain largely unchanged. Concurrently, the Government is
continuing to send young children and women to Nauru.
Therefore, we are submitting these letters to this Select Committee, and ask that you respond to all of the
allegations described and most urgently to ensure that conduct a professional criminal investigation is conducted
into the rape and subsequent response by the Nauruan Centre Management and staff, and the response by the
DIBP and AFP.
Yours sincerely

Re: Letters from Nauru expressing intent to suicide and allegations of unprosecuted rape.
Your Excellency
We are writing to seek your assistance to prevent women, men and children in your care from taking action to
harm themselves. On the 215t October, 2014, the Taskforce received 13 letters from women, children and male
asylum seekers in the Nauruan detention camps, and from asylum seekers whom your Government has found
to be refugees and who are now living in Nauru. One of these letters was in the form of a woman's Last Will and
Testament. These letters had been informally translated but we now have the originals, in their home
languages, and we are now in the process of having these professionally translated. Many of the letters contain
an intent to suicide.
We immediately notified the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) in Australia of the grave
concern that we hold for those in detention and who have been released, as we believe that most of the issues
raised in the letters are common to many other asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru. I have made repeated
requests to meet senior staff at the DIBP here in Australia but have not yet been granted this request.
We don't yet have permission from the authors to send the original letters to the Australian Department of
Immigration (DIBP) - there's basically no faith that actions taken by the DIBP will not worsen the misery being
experienced by those who wrote them. Instead, we have undertaken to send you an account of the issues
raised in the letters, to avoid compromising those who wrote seeking help.
The issues raised in the letters include the following grave concerns:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
the alleged rape of a single mother (allegedly witnessed by two people) and the subsequent release,
without charge, into the Nauruan community of the man who allegedly perpetrated the rape after having a
positive Refugee Status Determination;
inadequate access by children and parents to drinking and bathing water, coupled with filthy bathrooms,
which leads in turn to infections which, especially in women, can lead to infertility;
expired and rotten food given to children and the other detainees, causing gastroenteritis;
children and pregnant women describe the cuts and "burning" of their feet, and joint pain, due to the
viciousness of the hot gravel and rocks they are forced to walk on due to inadequate footwear;
children who are "hunger-striking" — the letters describe three children and four adults who have sewn their
lips together;
severe and acute weight loss;
children who have significant untreated health issues, including those illnesses related to exposure to
phosphate dust;

absence of support for children with behavioural problems, and the degree to which this long-term
detention contributes and causes behavioural disorders in children;
a joint letter outlining an intent to die rather than being sent to Cambodia;
seven children who have tried to commit suicide;
fourteen adults who have tried to commit suicide;
heat stress/exhaustion;
infestations in the tents of rodents, spiders and other vermin;
inability of disabled asylum seeker parents to care for their children and lack of support for the disabled;
intent to suicide in the form of a Last Will and Testament; and
pleas for help to be provided to the pregnant women who are detained in the camps.
We believe that most of the issues listed above are already being raised by staff at the Nauruan detention
centre camps and refugee accommodation through the appropriate channels on a daily basis.
You will also be aware that refugees within the Nauruan community are increasingly frightened, subjected to
threats and actual violence: men expressing fear and inability to do basic daily tasks, and some women and
children being too scared to leave their accommodation.
The Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce, which comprises 513 member entities, beseech you Sir, to close the
detention centres and send the asylum seekers and refugees back to Australia for processing and resettling, as
per Australia's international obligations.
I am sending a copy of this letter to the Australian Prime Minister and the Secretary of the Department of
Immigration and Border Protection, as they are responsible for sending those seeking asylum in Australia to
Nauru. In addition we are sending a copy to Save the Children - as a courtesy - given that SCA is the contracted
service provider to the DIBP for the welfare and education services of those who wrote the letters.
May I most respectfully request that you please contact me before the close of business this Friday 7th
November? My contact details are below.

Dear Rev Catt,
Re: Allegations regarding the conditions of asylum seekers
Thank you for your letter dated 5th November 2014 which is acknowledged.
I have been directed by His Excellency the President of Nauru, Hon. Baron Waqa M.P. to
respond to your letter.
Having caused investigations to be conducted, I am to advise that there is no credible
evidence that any of the allegations contained in your letter have any substance.
Please be assured that no effort is being spared to ensure that all asylum seekers at the
Regional Processing Centres (RPC) are being humanely cared for to the highest possible
standards.
The Government of Nauru is very conscious of its responsibilities and is discharging its
obligations at the RPC according to international humanitarian law to the best of its abilities.
It takes those obligations seriously. It will remain vigilant about the conditions under which
the asylum seekers are being kept and will not hesitate to hold the relevant authorities
accountable should basic minimum standards not be respected.
Yours sin cerel
Graham Leung
Acting Secretary
Department of Justice and Border Control

Dear Australian Government
Cruel, crime and discrimination against the asylum seekers and refugees in
Nauru is increasingly grow up every everyday by means of signing new deals,
approbating unfair rules and sending threat messages. We don't really
understand why such a powerful government is treating such obstinately with
the people who were obedient, gentle and patient more than any others. This
is fifteen months that we are under siege of harmful attack from Australian
government and our only reaction was to be patient. We were patient when
they sent us to Nauru like a criminal. We were patient when they dumped us in
those tents like rubbish. We were patient when they treated us like animals.
We were patient when they didn't give us water for days. We were patient in
more than other million occasions towards their cruelty and unfairness but as
we take an step back they take ten steps forward cruelly. Australian
Government has driven this people to the point that they feel like they have
reached the end. They feel like they have nothing to lose. They want the
Australian governments to know that they can send us to Cambodia but only
our dead bodies. They need to kill us first and they proved they would. The
Australian government is happy to convert Nauru to Manus Island and the
people are ready to sacrifice their lives to protect their families. What the
refugees demands is not something great or special. They want justice,
equality and fair treatment. We were in the same boats with the other
refugees in other Australian detention centres and we have been intimidated
more than the other and were the most peaceful, gentle people towards all
the cruelty and oppression that the Australian government did with the asylum
seekers so we have the right to ask for justice and equality. Please listen to us.
Please comprehend us. We beg your compassion and Ruth.
Thank you
Nauru refugees
