For Refugee Week 2023, we speak to Farhad Bandesh who fought to be released from offshore detention on Manus Island. He was moved from Manus Island to Australia for a medical treatment in 2019. The Kurdish refugee spent several months in hotel detention in Melbourne as well. Although he has been granted a Bridging Visa, Mr Bandesh does not feel free and he is unsure of his future. But Music and painting have helped him with his mental state enormously.
