The call for a hunger strike & protest at Maribyrnong Detention Centre
received front page coverage in the major local paper, the Footscray Mail
see the article:
http://www.red-duck.org/sa
After tragic events in the US there will no doubt be a renewed racist
backlash against anyone of middle eastern appearance as well as on
protesters more generally.
In this period the hunger strike and your support become even more
important... get involved!

HUNGER STRIKE & VIGIL
NO WAR ON REFUGEES
SEPT 21 - 23 @ MARIBYRNONG DETENTION CENTRE
_____________________
On September 21 to 23 Refugee Action Collective is organising a "Solidarity
Bus Ride" to Woomera Detention Centre. In the wake of the "Tampa Crisis"
such action is clearly needed to respond to bipartisan attacks on refugees.
In solidarity with this initiative JORGE JORQUERA the SOCIALIST ALLIANCE
candidate for GELLIBRAND invites those not on the bus, to be part of a three
day hunger strike & protest. Demand that these camps be closed, and that the
war against refugees & immigrants end now!
SEPT 21-23 @ MARIBYRNONG DETENTION CENTRE,
53 Hamstead Rd, Maribyrnong (82 Tram from Footscray Station)
Register for Hunger Strike ph 0417 537 388
