Rally: Don't Reopen Christmas Island! Close All Detention Centres!

Refugee Action Collective (Victoria)
Naarm/Melbourne

Why

The Rally will start at 1pm, at the State Library.

 

Speakers include:
Abdul Aziz Adam - Sudanese refugee, winner of the UN Martin Ennal Human Rights Defender Award, live from Manus Prison
Adam Bandt - Greens Deputy Leader
Pamela Curr - long term asylum advocate
Speaker from the Nurses union, ANMF

Following the passing of the amended Medivac Bill, Scot Morrison has announced his intention to reopen Christmas Island Detention Centre. He has stated that his aim is to transfer 300 sick people back into a detention centre almost as isolated and notorious as those on Manus Island and Nauru.

Join us to demand both onshore and offshore detention centres are shut down, that sick people are provided medical care on the mainland and are housed in the community, not locked away in a different barbed wire camp.
