Border Farce Refugee Lottery

Asylum seekers who flee their homes face the worst sort of lottery. Surviving their initial escape from danger, surviving the boat journey, getting a Temporary Protection Visa or being exiled to Manus or Nauru. It’s all a matter of chance, with little to do with justice or fairness. We give here a number of these outcomes that have been meted by Australia.

Asylum Seekers Communication Link: You can help

RRAN communicates daily with dozens of asylum seekers trapped in Australia’s detention centres both onshore and offshore. These men and women reach out to keep us informed about what abuses and transgressions are occurring. Often they do this in secret and at great risk to themselves. We need your help to keep the communication channels open.

Deportation Watch: Join to help stop deportations

With the new and even more unfair ‘fast-track’ processing, the government is going to be attempting to deport more and more refugees back to situations where their lives and safety are at risk.With the policy of boat force-backs we know that they have no compunction about returning people to directly to countries they have fled from and indeed straight back into the arms of their persecutors. All without any semblance of assessing these people’s claims for asylum.

We know that our government does not blink in the face of the rape of women and children on Nauru, or when staff murder refugees in detention on Manus Island.

We can be sure that they will not hesitate to return people to circumstances where it’s likely that they are tortured or killed. Indeed this has happened in the past.

If you want to help resist this, sign up for our anti-deportation SMS alert list. You will occasionally receive SMS messages calling for anti-deportation action. This often takes the form of handing out flyers at the airport or conducting protests to highlight the plight of a person slated for deportation.

Media Release from Inside Curtin IDC

By Refugee Rights Action Network On 24 December 2011

Passed on from an email received purporting to be from inside Curtin IDC (while we have yet to confirm the legitimacy of this email we believe that the message warrants sharing)

Message from Curtin hunger striker:

I want to confirm you that today the people who wanted to come and visit us in Curtin Detention Center they have (been) stoped by Serco and Immigration 2 Kilo Metres away from us we cant see them and they cant see us as well, Curtin Detention Center has two gates, One is 2 kilo metres away and one of the gate is intry gate, They have stoped in the first gate they cant come in,

Now 200 people are in Hanger (sic) Strike, it’s going to be more, The people are coming still to set infront (of) the Immigration’s building maybe it become more than 500 Handred (sic) people this strike is why they have stoped the visiter people , We need to say our pain for them but they stoped them,

Please pass this my email to the News ane Magazines , The people should hear our voice that how we are passing hardly our lifes in Detention Center,

But no body care about us. I myself it’s more than 14 months that I’m still in Detention Center, Why they have stoped us here with out any fault?
Am I a killer or am I a criminel that they stoped me in Prison? There is no one in whole Australia to understand us?

We were seeking Asylem not Prison

Please pass it to all Australian news
thanks with the best wishes
your sincerely.
