————————–
Refugee Week (19-25 June) is an annual event that celebrates the rich contribution that refugees make in their adopted countries. It’s also an important time for the refugee campaign to highlight the plight of those to whom Australia denies this opportunity – people who came to us seeking protection but were instead met with brutal repression, xenophobic scapegoating, and imprisonment.
RAC will also be screening the Australian documentary Freedom Stories during Refugee Week, on Tuesday 21 June. For more information please visit: https://www.facebook.com/
RAC’s Refugee Week events are held in solidarity with refugees on Manus Island and Nauru, who struggle daily against the Australian Government’s attempt to break both their bodies and their spirits.
Please join us in our call to #CloseTheCamps and #BringThemHere
