UNHCR: It is now more important than ever that comprehensive services, including physical security and robust medical care, are significantly reinforced, and that torture and trauma counselling and interpretation are reinstated immediately. 3/3 #Manus #refugees #auspol https://t.co/1GUHdEc0M3

Movement of refugees + asylum-seekers into facilities in Lorengau marks the continuation, not the end, of a critical phase for their well-being + safety. Extremely vulnerable people have merely been moved into...further hopelessness, after significant distress + physical harm 2/3 https://t.co/1GUHdEc0M3

UNHCR is disturbed by footage + reports from refugees that they have been beaten and forcibly moved from the former ‘Regional Processing Centre’ on Manus. Our staff remain on the ground on #Manus, where limited access continues to hamper our monitoring role. 1/3 #refugees #auspol https://t.co/1GUHdEc0M3

Prof. Guy Goodwin-Gill "By intercepting asylum-seekers, transporting them to #Manus + #Nauru, #Australia chose not to play by the rules, unilaterally announcing in effect to the rest of the world that it would have to pick up the pieces and pay the price." #refugees #auspol 2/3

“UNHCR is troubled by reports to our staff on #Manus Island of force being used to remove refugees and asylum seekers from the former Regional Processing Centre (RPC).” A calm, humane approach, de-escalation and urgent lasting solutions are critical. #refugees #auspol https://t.co/LV45DE0gS2

This is a manmade catastrophe...over time through choices made by the Government of Australia + the Government of Papua New Guinea + the humanitarian crisis we now see before us was highly preventable. https://t.co/y6DhiopvNK #auspol #Manus #refugees 3/3 via @RAPacificBeat

Well beyond the issue of construction, far more concerning is that the most essential and basic services of emergency medical care and trauma and torture counselling are either not available or deeply inadequate. https://t.co/y6DhiopvNK #auspol #Manus 2/3 via @RAPacificBeat

For people who have fled war and persecution, and then suffered immensely throughout the past four years, care and genuine dialogue is what is needed. These vulnerable #refugees and asylum-seekers should not be moved by force. https://t.co/y6DhiopvNK #auspol #Manus 1/3
