| Subject: Rights violations: Resettled refugees say they are desperate and living 'like animals in the jungle' on Nauru Sun Aug 24, 2014 9:43 pm | |
| More than 50 refugees resettled by Australia on Nauru say they have been "abandoned to live like animals in the jungle".
In an interview from the tiny Pacific island, the refugees told Fairfax Media they don't have enough clean water, food, or work to sustain themselves and that they can't afford phone calls to their families back home.
"In our country, the Taliban will come and they will slash our throats and finish our lives. It will take 10 minutes to die. But here, they are killing us by pain, taking our soul and our life slowly. In our countries there is physical torture, but here we are being tortured mentally," one refugee told Fairfax Media.
