We are most concerned about the situation on Manus Island. We request the Australian Government to immediately:

- remove to Australia all the asylum seekers who witnessed or were injured in the recent violence on Manus Island;

- ensure that the asylum seekers receive appropriate medical treatment, including full rehabilitation and mental health services and have regular contact with family member and lawyers;

-ensure that all asylum seekers have the ability to seek legal redress for any injuries sustained including access to lawyers;

-end the offshore detention and processing of asylum seekers arriving by boat to Australia.

Violence adds to the suffering of all humanity and its root is fear. When will we allow true compassion to guide our actions?

That we call ourselves civilised and humane is a joke if this is how we treat people who come to us for help
