“We are living in a place worse than a prison.” Behrouz Boochani, a writer, journalist and filmmaker, won Australia’s highest-paying literary prize last Thursday. But he couldn't attend the festivities. Behrouz, a stateless Kurdish-Iranian asylum-seeker, has been held in offshore detention on Manus Island in #PapuaNewGuinea for more than 5 years. He fled Iran after the police there arrested several of his journalist colleagues and raided his office. After the Australian Navy intercepted his boat as he was trying to reach the country, he was sent to Manus Island in 2013. Last week, he won the 2019 Victorian Prize for Literature for his book, “No Friend but the Mountains,” earning him 125,000 Australian dollars (about $90,000). His book, which recounts his experiences in detention, was written over 5 years through @whatsapp texts in Farsi to his translator, Omid Tofighian. Reached by telephone last Friday, Behrouz said the award felt paradoxical. “I am happy because it is a great achievement for me and all of the refugees, and it is a victory against this system,” he said. But the suffering and family separation he’s witnessed on the island deeply saddened him. Under Australia’s migration policy, asylum seekers who try to enter by sea are barred from entering the country. The government has defended the policy as an effective deterrent against smugglers, but global human rights activists have strongly condemned it. @ashgilbertson shot this photo of Behrouz on #ManusIsland in 2016.
