Reza Barati was murdered on #Manus #OTD, 17 February, 2014.

Barati, an Iranian Kurdish refugee, detained in an Australian offshore prison camp, was 23 years old.

He died from severe head trauma after being set upon by multiple detention camp guards and employees. #RezaBarati

In 2016, two PNG nationals, one who had been employed as a security guard and one as a Salvation Army worker, were convicted of Barati's murder and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Five years of the sentences were suspended, and credit was given for time served. #RezaBarati

The judge presiding said they received lighter sentences because two Australians known to be involved in the killing had not been charged. #RezaBarati #Manus #FreeTheRefugees

Witnesses to the killing testified that "a large group of people including New Zealand and Australian guards were involved in attacking Barati".

No Australian has been charged for their role in Barati's murder. #RezaBarati #Manus #FreeTheRefugees

Australian guards "present" during the riot successfully sued the Australian government and contractor G4S for the "psychological damage" they suffered for "witnessing" the riots in which Berati was murdered and 77 refugees were injured. #RezaBarati #Manus #FreeTheRefugees

The killers got pay outs. Manus refugees remain imprisoned. 7 years and still no justice.

Who killed Reza Barati? Why'd he die and who is guilty? #RezaBarati #Manus #FreeTheRefugees
