Activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied has triggered more controversy with a tweet on Remembrance Day, following the furore sparked on Anzac Day.

Abdel-Magied took to social media yesterday to post “Lest We Forget (Manus)”, along with a video from the UN Refugee Agency speaking about the “unconscionable human suffering” on Manus Island.

While the tweet was “liked” more than 600 times, a number of Twitter users slammed the post as “disrespectful and distasteful”.

“I hope I can forget this tweet certainly. Remembering people who fought for our country doesn't mean we forget others. Clearly a concept your mind is too small to comprehend,” one social media user wrote.

“I still don’t think WWI remembrance should be brought into the Manus fray(didn’t you say you regretted this approach last year),” another said.

Hundreds of refugees continue to live on Manus Island, after the detention centre was officially shuttered on October 30.

Yesterday ABC News reported that people remaining at Manus were told they had until Monday to move.

Abdel-Magied’s latest controversy follows the searing criticism she received for posting “Lest We Forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine ...)” on Anzac Day.
