A report alleging appalling abuse and neglect of refugees and asylum seekers living in detention on Nauru has recently been released based on Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch's investigations. The report detailed inhumane conditions, abuse and assault of detainees including neglect by locals and healthcare providers. The Department of Immigration has lashed out strongly refuting many of the claims in the report. Registered Nurse and citizen of Nauru Sue Barker also says the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers is very different to the one painted by the media. Sue has written to the ANMJ asking to give her account about the humane support refugees and asylum seekers are given by the locals on Nauru.
