Over the weekend of the 26th-28th of April 2013, refugee rights activists from all over the country are going to heading to Northam to visit the refugees that are being detained there by the Australian government. Learn more or register at the convergence’s site.

With its recent attempts to deport two Tamils back to Sri Lanka, the Australian Government showed its increasing disregard for the safety of asylum seekers and contempt for international advice. In addition to injunctions, there will be times when we need to blockade Perth’s detention centre; join us if you want to help stop the government deporting people back to danger.

Many of the refugees in our detention centres speak little or no English, yet they receive minimal support from our government or the companies paid to provide care. Through the ‘Dictionaries for Refugees’ program, RRAN has been giving bilingual dictionaries to the people in Australia’s detention centres for over one year now, and so can you.
