Rally against mandatory detention: Free the refugees! End mandatory detention! No deportations! No offshore processing!

Monday, April 25, 2011 - 13:00

Maribyrnong Detention Centre, 53 Hampstead Road, Maidstone. Over Easter refugee rights activists will converge on detention centres across Australia to protest the federal government's appalling policy of detaining asylum seekers.

The main protest will be outside Curtin Detention Centre in Western Australia’s remote north-west but there will be protests at other centres as well. Melbourne activists will join the national day of action with a symbolic protest outside the Maribyrnong Detention Centre to show solidarity with refugees detained inside as well as create awareness about the plight of refugees.

Organised by Refugee Action Collective.
