Australia kills another refugee; Manus = Auschwitz
Sep 4^th, 2014 at 2:05am

Manus island is becoming Australia's killing ground. A pit of death for those unfortunate enough to become victims.

The Abbott of Manus Auschwitz has worked his spell again.

Quote:

A LETTER signed by Manus Island detainees has accused the Australian organisation behind the health of asylum seekers responsible for the “death” of a brain dead Iranian asylum seeker.

Dated September 1, the letter is directed to the International Health and Medical Services (IHMS), and claims “those who have signed this papar (sic) consider you are responsible for any consequense (sic) of not treat (sic) the illness of our dear friend.”

IHMS is contracted by the Department of Immigration to provide health supplies for Australian detention centres, including Manus Island and Nauru.

The Immigration Department refuses to confirm whether 24-year-old Iranian refugee Hamid Kehazaei was urgently flown for emergency treatment from Manus Island to intensive care at Brisbane’s Mater Hospital on August 27 after an infection for a cut foot caused septicaemia.

Mr Kehazaei was one of the first asylum seekers to be transferred to Manus Island by the former Rudd Government.

On Monday, Mr Kehazaei suffered a heart attack and was yesterday deemed brain dead by the Immigration Department, claims Refugee Action Coalition spokesman Ian Rintoul.

It is believed Mr Kehazaei’s family in Iran was also made aware of his condition, and that a guardian would be appointed at “some stage” to decide whether to turn off life support.

“Hamid is a victim of the shocking conditions and medical neglect on Manus Island. It is inexcusable that he developed septicaemia,” Mr Rintoul said.

“Nothing more obviously reveals Manus Island as a unhygienic hell-hole that must be closed.”
The family has indicated his organs will be donated as soon as possible.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Has Iranian Ambassador to Aust been contacted to find out what conflict/persecution this man was fleeing Iran
from? He made a lot of noise about the last Iranian killed on Manus in the rioting. Unfortunate that his actions cost him his life. The risk he took in choosing to enter Australia as an illegal economic migrant.

Hamid Kehazaei: The Australian government must explain why he received inadequate care

Processing asylum seekers is an immigration decision, but
ensuring their health is an issue of human rights
. The two positions are not, and must not be, mutually exclusive

Wednesday 3 September 2014

We should all be deeply concerned about reports of a 24-year-old Iranian, Hamid Kehazaei, recently flown to the Australian mainland from Manus Island after a cut on his foot developed into septicaemia. He is now on life support and the most recent reports are saying he is brain dead.

This case raises a whole host of questions. Was there a delay in diagnosis? Was there a delay in transferring him for medical treatment? While the facts of this case are still to be determined, what is becoming clear is the inadequate care being provided to people seeking asylum.

The standard of medical facilities in offshore detention must be questioned, as well as the timeliness of medical care. Delays in accessing necessary treatment mean that simple and easily treatable health conditions can deteriorate rapidly and become life threatening. The inadequate medical care received by people seeking asylum is having devastating consequences.

The Australian government says that they are providing health care services that are “broadly comparable with health services available within the Australian community”. I don’t believe this standard is being met. Had the Manus Island detention facility been adequately equipped to provide this young man with the healthcare he needed when he needed it, the outcome may have been very different.

The government has a lot of questions to answer. We need to know why this man did not receive adequate medical care in the first place. We need to know why there was a delay in transferring him once his condition deteriorated.

It is critical that the government is guided by independent expert medical advice, and that services are able to address complex health matters quickly and appropriately. Without this, it will be increasingly difficult for the government to respond to the growing concerns over conditions in offshore detention centres and the negative impact on asylum seeker health.

The government’s approach to processing asylum seekers is an immigration decision, but ensuring their health is an issue of human rights. The two positions are not, and must not be, mutually exclusive.

As much as I deplore government policies in this area, Manus is hardly a "killing ground"
