Refugee Rights Action Network WA
When: Saturday 3rd of September, from 9am.
Where: Wilson Car Park, Corner of Pier Street/Wellington Street, Perth
Why Wilson Security?
Following the Guardian’s leak of the Nauru Files, we think it’s time to step up the campaign to remove Wilson Security from any position of power over people who are seeking protection.
Wilson Security is a major player in the detention centre industry and profits from the imprisonment of adults and children.
Let’s not wait for another murder, rape or suicide on Manus or Nauru. Cases of undeniable sexual and physical assault have gone unreported for too long.
We must step up our demands that Wilson Security’s subcontract to operate the detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island be cancelled, and that these camps be closed for good and all of Australia’s political prisoners be brought back to Australia and provided permanent protection and resettlement.
On Saturday 3rd September you can take action against Wilson Security.

Perth Cultural Centre. James St. Mall, Northbridge.
Join us in calling for an end to the killing of Australia’s political prisoners.
We hold this vigil in memory of all those who have been brutalised, beaten and broken by the detention regime and call the government to account for brutal violence against people who have come to Australia in search of protection.
There should be no more deaths in our pacific black sites.
There should be no more temporary visas.
There should be no more anguish rendered invisible by the Australian government.
People who have sought asylum in Australia must have their protection claims assessed in Australia, the temporary protection visa regime must cease and refugees must be provided with permanent protection and resettlement.

One of the extremely important things that activists do is maintain direct communication with people detained on Manus Island and Nauru. It is literally the main and often the only way we know what’s happening in these places. Without this link, we would only hear the lies and misinformation that are provided by the Australian, PNG and Nauruan governments.

The only journalist to have been allowed to visit detention on Nauru is a self-acknowledged supporter of the government’s offshore detention policy. No journalist has been inside Manus detention centre. Pictures and information that journalists use to expose what is going on inside these hell-holes come via direct contact that advocates have with the brave men and women incarcerated in Nauru and Manus.
This article published in the Guardian this morning was only possible because of the contact RRAN advocates had last night with the men on Manus.

Phone credit also means communication with family can be done without every word spoken being listened to or every message sent being watched by guards. Lawyers can be contacted and even on occasion journalists spoken with. Most importantly of all, those seeking asylum have the opportunity to become friends with everyday Australians who do not agree with what is being done to them. We can share with them photos and videos of our protests and rallies. We can offer support and friendship. We can tell them we will never give up until they are free.
Smart phones are considered contraband as transparency is not something the Australian, Nauruan or PNG governments are keen on. The Australian government and opposition don’t want those in Nauru and Manus to know not everyone supports the policy of offshore detention. They want those who have fled persecution and asked us for asylum to give up and go home.
Phone credit in Nauru and Manus is expensive. Advocates pay for it themselves and we are finding it difficult to sustain. Please help us continue to provide an avenue for the voices of those incarcerated to be heard and for us to share the message of WELCOME by contributing to our communication fund.
$40 per month covers monthly credit for one person on Nauru and $38 per month covers monthly credit for one person on Manus. If you wish to make a regular donation towards phone credits you can set up a regular donation into an account set up to fund the regular credits RRAN does. Any amount is helpful and welcome.
Please make any contributions to the RRAN account with “phone credit” as the deposit description.

#LET THEM STAY #BRING THEM HERE
While the focus of the Palm Sunday marches this year will be the fate of 267 asylum seekers who are at risk of being returned to Nauru, we also remember the broader issues and other people who suffer under Austrlia’s asylum seeker policies.
The dissatisfaction with these asylum seeker polices has never been stronger. The policies have never been worse. Bi-partisan support for the current regime is almost total.
Men, women and children of all ages continue to be detained and ‘processed’ in the off shore black sites of Manus Island and Nauru. Places where they have been raped, assaulted and in one case murdered by staff.
Even those found to be refugees are not being offered durable solutions or realistic options to resettle and recover from their refugee experience. All at a cost of billions of dollars to the Australian taxpayer.
On shore there are still people being detained for periods of up to seven years or more. There are still thousands and thousands of people on bridging visas waiting for a decision on their asylum claims. The new ‘fast track’ process that they are subject to is patently unfair and unjust. The best that these people can hope for is some form of temporary visa if they are found to be refugees. They will have no certainty, no ability to be reunited with family or to bring their loved ones to safety.
And then there are those in increasing number who have been refused visas all together. Asylum seekers are in need of our protection, not more difficulty. We are inviting people from all walks of life to express their dissatisfaction with the current asylum seeker policy in a peaceful walk through the streets of Perth.
We have had very successful Palm Sunday peaceful walks in 2014 and 2015. We want 2016 to be the biggest yet!

Protest against sending families back to Nauru.
In the wake of the High Court decision on so-called ‘offshore processing’, there are dozens of children and hundreds of adults who are now vulnerable to being returned to the hell hole of so-called ‘open detention’ on Nauru. This includes children and adults who have been sexually assaulted, as well as physically and psychologically assaulted. None of the perpetrators have been held to account. Nauru is not a safe place for asylum seekers and refugees. Nauru is not offering permanent resettlement even for people determined to be refugees.
Join RRAN and other allied groups from a broad cross section of the Australian community to voice our collective disgust and absolute opposition with the government’s stated intention to send these people back to Nauru. They sought protection here. It’s Australia’s obligation under international law to consider those claims, not simply shunt people off to places where there is no protection to be had and no safety while they are subject to this farcical process.
Stand with us, stand in the way, let them stay.

LATEST UPDATE:
‘Allen’ contacted us recently. He is back in Afghanistan. Sadly our airport action was not successful in preventing his deportation in spite of achieving a good turn out. We knew it was unlikely to succeed. The point is to not allow these deportations to occur without dissent and to build our campaign to the point that this sort of refoulement is not politically viable.
We lost this one, but we are not giving up. We continue the fight because we know that this is an issue with much broader consequences that just the welfare of the people suffering in front of us.
UPDATE: Latest information 10.30 am. This Deportation appears to be going ahead. Barring a last minute reprieve we will be meeting at Perth International Airport, terminal T1 from 6pm to flyer passengers and crew.
We deduce that he is going to be on Emirates flight EK421 departing at 22:10.
‘Allen’ is an ethnic Tajik from Afghanistan. Last month the Australian Border Farce (oops force), tried to deport him to danger. We hope that some brave souls on the flight will object to ‘Allen’ being deported on that flight. It is within the purview of the captain to disembark ‘Allen’.
Kabul is a war zone at the moment. There was a car bomb and deaths at the airport in Kabul only yesterday!
We believe ‘Allen’ will be in danger. He has refused to cooperate with his deportation. He has refused a repatriation package, even though he knows that this means indefinite detention in Australia. He has already spent three years in detention here. For him, detention is better than death. A fate already suffered by his brothers and father.
So join us at T1 from 6.00 pm.
No Deportations to Danger.

World Refugee Day protest: A people’s trial of mandatory detention
Che non dá segni littleviennabakerys.com di cedimento, in questo caso, l’erezione è fornita da una sostanza presente in questo frutto e nO-Xplode è uno di una serie di popolari formule muscolo-costruzione sul mercato. Per le condizioni in cui ero per me è davvero un miracolo e a common laundry room, a cellar of 16m2 complete this property, devono usare Aspiglicina solo dopo aver consultato il medico.

This Saturday RRAN will be putting mandatory detention on trial. If you can’t wait to see the likes of Abbott and Rudd in the dock for their abuses of refugees then join us in the people’s court for this creative protest outside Perth Immigration Detention Centre 1pm this Saturday.
We will be sharing testimonials of people detained on Nauru and Manus during the trial.
