“It doesn’t matter… I’m already dead”

Ranjini and her sons share their prison at Villawood with Pradeep – a blind, mentally disabled man who also been determined a threat to Australia’s national security.

Pradeep’s psychologist told the 7:30 Report that when asked how he was finding detention – his response was:

“It doesn’t matter… I’m already dead” 

Pradeep and Ranjini continue to face indefinite detention – deemed a threat to national security – despite Ranjini’s children and Pradeep’s inability to see further than 6 inches away. Pradeep’s Doctors say that he is getting sicker in detention, the effect it must be having on Ranjini’s sons is almost unimaginable – How would you feel about your children watching a mentally ill blind man slowly dying in prison.
