'On 31 October 2017, the Australian Government announced that they were going to relocate more than 600 refugees from Manus prison camp in Lombrum to three new camps in another part of Manus Island. The refugees refused to leave the prison camp because they said we will not allow them to relocate us to new prison camps after four and half years of imprisonment. We demand freedom. Staff from the private companies paid by Australia to run the prison at that time, Wilson Security, IHMS (International Health Medical Services) and Broadspectrum, left the camp and the refugees were left without food, water, power or medical facilities for 23 days.'
