24.01.2022 Since 31 October, prisoners in Queensland can have a maximum of two visitors. Yet refugees in Kangaroo Point and BITA remain blocked from any visitors, including family.

23.01.2022 The Greek state has forcibly emptied the humane and community run PIKPA refugee camp on Lesbos. Disgusted!

21.01.2022 Refugees moved to a new hotel prison in Brisbane have been confined to their rooms for two days. There is no fresh air; no place for smoking; no place for exercise. This torture must end: release them now!

20.01.2022 A Somali refugee attempted suicide in the early hours of Saturday, 24 October at Kangaroo Point. Since all visits were cancelled because of COVID in March, he has only seen his wife and son from the balcony of the hotel when they have come to the fence that now surrounds it.

20.01.2022 Hundreds of refugees are facing destitution, after being kicked out of community detention and losing all government support, despite serious health needs and the context of mass unemployment

09.01.2022 Ten refugees and asylum seekers have been transferred from Darwin to Brisbane, where they are now being held on the 71st floor of Meriton Apartments, Adelaide Street. It is a disgrace that Border Force is expanding hotel detention further, the refugees should be released and given the medical care they need.

07.01.2022 In contrast to Australia, Canada is going to boost immigration as soon as it can...1.2 million people over the next three years. Refugee and migrant advocates are campaigning to ensure they have full residency rights. *** [Reacting to the announcement, the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, an advocacy group, said the government should put in place a single-tier immigration system that ensures status for all migrants.]

06.01.2022 On this Saturday from 7pm. Make sure you get a ticket to this great online event. Rock Against Racism features a great line-up, and the proceeds go to supporting the work of the Refugee Action Coalition, as well as the Indigenous Social Justice Association. See you then.

05.01.2022 Melbourne RAC protested today in groups of ten outside the Mantra Bell City Preston hotel demanding that the refugees held there be released immediately. Congrats on your inspiring act of solidarity with those held inside, and for asserting the right to protest safely as Melbourne emerges from lockdown. Photos thanks to Euphemia Bonnitcha.

05.01.2022 More terrible flooding in the new refugee camp on Lesvos. #CloseTheCamps #FreeTheRefugees
