Mohammad Shofiqul Islam and Mohammad Kaium have been held on the remote Pacific island of Nauru for nearly 10 years.

Behrouz, who was held for six years on Manus before finding refuge in New Zealand, also said there was a lot of money to be made in detaining refugees and asylum seekers. He cited a 420 million Australian-dollar ($286m) contract agreed earlier this year between the Australian government and a US private prisons operator, Management and Training Corporation (MTC), to run “garrison and welfare” on Nauru.

Disgusting.
