#Facebook Page Set up to Aid #Children Banned From it in #Nauru Detention Center
 |
Free the Children NAURU might sound like a simple initiative to get these kids released, and it is, but it's also much more than that. Because all of the children held there have no access to Facebook, the people running this group have used it as a conduit to allow them to speak out. Using VPNs, they have been able to angle around the block and give the children the opportunity to share their plight with the rest of the world.

Nobody actually knows who is behind the Facebook page, it was suggested that Save the Children might have had something to do with it, given that they've been furiously campaigning to get Nauru shut down, but when approached for a statement, they said they had nothing to do with it. It probably goes without saying, but whoever did set up the page is nothing short of heroic. The mass incarceration of refugees is a gross injustice, but putting children in a purpose-built detention center is even worse, especially when their ability to communicate with the outside world is also limited.
