Who Killed Reza Barati? – forum 30thJune’14
Offshore processing on trial

Speakers:
Nichole Judge – Ex Manus Island worker
Daniel Webb – Human Rights Law Centre
Ian Rintoul – Refugee Action Coalition (NSW)

“The question of who killed Reza Barati is not a narrow question about who struck the final blow. Scott Morrison as Minister is responsible for asylum seekers safety. If asylum seekers had not been imprisoned on Manus Island they would not have been harmed. If Kevin Rudd had not set up the PNG deal & sent Reza Barati to Manus Island, then Barati would still be alive. If his claim for refugee status had been processed in a timely manner he would still be alive.

The Department of Immigration directly ordered the PNG mobile squad dog unit to enter the compound as a “show of force”, over-ruling local G4S managers on the night of the attacks. The PNG mobile squad faces credible allegations of rape & murder in PNG. Seven days before the attacks deputy detention manager, John McCaffery, warned in an email that use of the mobile squad ‘could result in VSI (very serious injury) or death of protesters’.

The attacks on asylum seekers are blood on the governments hands.“

Welcome to this forum “where Scott Morrison, Tony Abbott, Labour & the policy of offshore detention is put on public trial”.
