Refugees in Australia facing further punishment

The High Court of Australia this week once again confirmed the legality of imprisoning asylum seekers and refugees indefinitely. This latest ruling is the most recent of a long line of attacks over the last 15 years. Over 200 people currently in Australia for medical reasons, are in danger of being sent to the concentration camp of Nauru. Major demonstrations around Australia were held to protest this latest injustice, while churches have declared that they will protect these refugees. More protests are planned including one by teachers around Australia.
