Sorry for the ugly post (I’m on mobile) but Behrouz Boochani is a refugee being held in an internment camp by the Australian govt in a country that’s treated as a de facto colony and there’s now a penalty of up to 25 years prison for any reporter who covers the internment of refugees so this is a hugely important book. Manus is basically a black zone

Boochani had to dictate a lot of this book over the phone and phone access is incredibly difficult. There’s a group that collects donations to buy credit for refugees on Manus and Nauru and I can personally vouch for them. You can donate here
