Refugee rights petition


30 August 2000

Refugee rights petition

The human rights of refugees and refugee claimants in Australia are constantly under attack. The government arbitrarily detains asylum seekers who arrive without official documentation, and often keeps them locked up for prolonged periods. It creates classes of refugees through the Temporary Protection Visa system and denies refugees the right to support themselves with the 45-day work permission rule.

Amnesty International is running a national campaign to highlight the situation facing refugees in Australia. Sign Amnesty International's refugee rights petition by sending an email to <refugeepetition@amnesty.org.au>. For more information visit <http://www.amnesty.org.au>.
