More than 100 former employees from the Nauru and Manus detention centres have put their names to a letter calling for detainees to be brought to Australia after the publication of the Nauru files. “The evidence is already overwhelmingly clear.”The letter follows one by 26 former Save the Children Workers, who publicly spoke out against offshore detention last week after the Guardian published the Nauru files. The Nauru files revealed the contents of more than 2,100 incident reports from a time period of just over two years on Nauru. On Tuesday the Nauruan government, which did not respond to any requests during the Nauru files reporting and publication, said the refugee claims were “fabricated” and being used to suit a political agenda. • Contact the Nauru files reporters securely and confidentially
