YAREN, Nauru- Naurus GIO just made a media release statement regarding the letters containing alleged threats against refugees. According to the media release the Nauruan police force are currently investigating letters left at various places that contain threatening language. They do not believe there is any increased risk to refugees on the island. There continues to be a campaign of misinformation by refugee groups both outside and within Nauru, backed by some sections of the media. These people clearly have a political agenda and they are willing to do and say anything to achieve it writes GIO The letters in question are unsigned and at this stage they have no evidence to suggest that the letters are genuine or have been authored by any Nauruan group or individual. We currently cannot confirm if these were authored by a Nauruan, a refugee, refugee advocates or any other party who seeks to jeopardise the resettlement program as accorded to the media release statement. The government of Nauru implores the Australian and New Zealand media to be responsible and report the facts without the sensationalism and without an agenda. This alleged letter is full of inaccuracies, leading our police to question its origin. For the record, refugees are not taking all job opportunities however we are pleased to report that job opportunities are open to refugees as the nation experiences very low unemployment says the GIO spokesperson. Police are seeking assistances to find those who are responsible and will provide further information on these letters as it becomes available.
