It is very bad for your health and wellbeing if you continue to refuse to move to you new accommodation where there is food, water, electricity and other services,” the message, signed by PNG immigration officials, says. “You cannot continue to remain here in this condition. The message posted inside the detention centre said refugees and asylum seekers were being urged to leave immediately, but that they had two days to move before they were forcibly removed. “Given the supreme court’s decision, the government has no choice but to intervene for the wellbeing of both the refugees and non-refugees.” “The centre will not be reopened and it will be returned to its former function as a defence force facility. The PNG supreme court ruled last year the detention of the men there was “illegal and unconstitutional”. O’Neill said the detention centre would not be reopened after being officially closed on Tuesday last week.
“Their actions are now heading towards a law and order situation, as well as a hygiene and sanitation problem, and it will be dealt with as such.” “Those involved in disruption have been identified and appropriate means will be used to apprehend individuals who are causing unnecessary anxiety and violence. The PNG prime minister, Peter O’Neill, who has long resented the Manus camp’s imposition on the remote province, said the centre had closed and those refusing to leave it must go.
