In April this year, Michael Gordon was the first journalist to gain
unrestricted access to the refugee detention center on Nauru. There
he interviewed more than half of the 54 asylum seekers then on the
island. His article, based on these interviews, for +o--The Good
Weekend+o-- magazine drew an enormous response from readers.
+o--Freeing Ali+o-- expands beyond that article to tell the story
of Ali Mullaie, an Afghan asylum seeker, since granted refugee
status in Australia, who spent three and half years detained on
Nauru. Ali gained widespread attention for teaching computer skills
to Nauruan school children. Michael Gordon backgrounds his profile
of Ali and his fellow detainees with a discussion of the impact of
the detention center and the 'Pacific Solution' on the people of
Nauru and their country, a country that recently had a change of
government and suffers from an economy in ongoing decline.
+o--Freeing Ali+o-- also includes Michael Gordon's photographs of
detainees and the Nauruan landscape.
