Thursday, May 31, 5pm.
Outside Nicola Roxon's office, 337 Gordon St, Maribrynong. Sri Lankan-born Ranjini was verified as a genuine refugee and set about starting a new life with her new husband in Melbourne. She and her husband recently discovered they're expecting their first child together. But two weeks ago ASIO revised her security finding and now she and her young sons join around 50 other refugees (including six children) held without knowing the reasons for their detention, without independent review and without an opportunity for appeal.
At the vigil we'll deliver a petition to Attorney-General Nicola Roxon's office in Maribyrnong at dusk by the light of hundreds of candles, a vigil for Ranjini and her family and all others locked up indefinitely without appeal. Will you join us? Organised by Get Up.
