Editor's note: At each of our events we remember those who have died, call out their names and surround them with loving words and images—symbols of what we wish they had been afforded. In this collection we include a tribute to those who have died since 2013. These people include those who are friends and family of members who did not quite reach land in Australia; people who reached Australia and sought refuge only to die in Australia’s immigra - tion detention prisons or on insecure visas in community; people who are stuck in limbo in Indonesia due to Australia’s policies and in Indonesian detention prisons funded by Australia; two Manusian people killed by the Australian funded “mobile police squad,” and who local Manusians identify as being killed as a result of the presence of Australia’s immigration prison; and a Nauruan man who drowned trying to save Sayed Hussain on Nauru. Some of these people we have known intimately, some we have known of by name and some we have not. We imagine that there are people who have died known to others but not to us. We honour each person and send love to each family and community who mourn.
