20 June marks World Refugee Day. War and oppression creates refugees. Capitalism creates war and oppression. Refugees are workers who are running from bombs and running from starvation. They go to countries like Greece, the United States, Egypt, Malaysia and Korea where they are constantly being threatened with deportation. They come to countries like Australia in boats and are locked up in immigration detention centres. 2012 marks 20 years of mandatory detention of refugees arriving in boats in Australia.
World wide, workers will be marching in defence of refugees.
