"Adnan* says he had never heard of Nauru when Australian Border Force officers
showed up at his door in the middle of the night to inform him Nauru had
granted him a 30-year visa.
Initially believing Nauru was part of Australia, Adnan felt a brief sense of
relief before he realised he was being sent back to a place he had become
uncomfortably familiar with – immigration detention.
“I thought there had been a mistake. I hadn’t had a lawyer for years, and I had
never really understood what was happening in my case,” he told
Guardian
Australia through his lawyer.
“I have been in detention since, trying to figure out how all of this happened
to me, and why I have been selected for this punishment.”
The man, whose real name
Guardian Australia is not using to reduce the risk
of reprisal, is one of more than 350 people within the so-called NZYQ cohort,
which the federal government has promised to deport to the tiny Pacific island
in a $2.5bn deal."
