From a Refugee Action Coalition Sydney Newsletter:
"1. Manus emergency rally 2. Chauka film 3. What you can do
Police have today (November 23) launched a violent assault on refugees in the Manus detention centre. Hundreds of police have trashed the refugees' property and equipment in an effort to force them out.
After over four years in detention, they have taken a stand, refusing to simply be transferred to another prison camp. Behrouz Boochani, a refugee on Manus has written that they want, “one thing, and one thing only, and that is freedom. Only freedom.” They have faced three weeks without power, water, food or medical supplies. Manus Island is not safe for them. It's time to end the torture and Bring Them Here immediately.
