Behrouz Boochani - Refugee
Stephen Sackur interviews Behrouz Boochani, an Iranian Kurd who has written about his six-year experience as a marooned migrant, held in an Australian-run detention centre in Papua New Guinea.
In 2013, the Australian government adopted a draconian anti-immigration policy, which involved sending all sea-borne would-be asylum seekers to de-facto detention camps in remote Papua New Guinea and Micronesia. Stephen Sackur interviews one of them. Behrouz Boochani is an Iranian Kurd who has written about his extraordinary six-year experience as a marooned migrant. He is now a prize-winning author, but is his long-term fate any clearer?
