Abdul Aziz Muhamat, a Sundanese refugee who has been detained for nearly six years, urged the council to hold the Australian government accountable for the treatment of refugees.
Speaking on behalf of the Human Rights Law Centre, the 25-year-old said: “After 6 years, we deserve our lives back and a future. We urge your mandates to take this up with the Australian government, which deserves to be held accountable by this Council.”
