None of the 854 asylum-seekers detained on Manus Island will be resettled in Australia, immigration minister Peter Dutton has said, after announcing that the island's Australian-run detention centre will close.
"These men should immediately be moved to Australia or a safe third country, not simply shunted down the road to a transit centre or moved to Nauru or Cambodia," said Elaine Pearson, Australian director of Human Rights Watch.
