Human rights lawyers are calling on the Morrison government to remove all men and women from Australia's offshore detention centres. 

The call comes after a refugee on Manus Island set himself on fire on Monday, marking the latest in a rising number of suicide and self-harm attempts by people in Australia's offshore processing facilities. 

The Human Rights Law Centre says the incident occurred just a week after another refugee attempted suicide and another self-harmed.

Director Katie Robertson says that since the federal election was decided, there's been an increase in the number of asylum seekers and refugees attempting suicide and self-harm.
