A PAKISTANI refugee has drowned at a waterfall on Manus Island.
“Australian government representatives remain in close contact with the Royal PNG Constabulary (Police) which is managing the situation,” a spokesman for the department said.
The death comes as a report by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch found refugees on Nauru are assaulted on a daily basis.

A young refugee woman on Nauru felt she had no choice but to marry a man 15 years her senior in order to have protection whenever she went out to buy groceries.
It’s one of the harrowing testimonies from refugees and asylum seekers who say they feel unsafe on the Pacific island.

The rights groups sent researchers to Nauru for 12 days in July and they interviewed 84 asylum seekers and refugees from Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Bangladesh, Kuwait and Afghanistan. Every refugee and asylum seeker interviewed reported intimidation, harassment, or violence directed at them or family members by Nauruans acting alone or in groups.
Some had been spat on, had bottles thrown at them, windows broken, had motorbikes swerve at them or were robbed at knifepoint.

“Refugees and asylum seekers said they were afraid to leave their accommodation, particularly at night,” the report said.

“Women said they almost never left the camps and then only in groups, or with male companions.”
Six women described sexual assault or harassment, demands for sex, and attempted rape.
