Against Asylum Seekers
#LetThemStay: Thousands gather in cities all over Australia to rally against asylum seekers deported back to Nauru
Thousands of protesters gather in cities all over Australia on Wednesday calling on to the Federal Government not to deport 267 asylum seekers back to Nauru. The protest was in response to the High Court ruling allowing almost 300 asylum seekers, including 72 children to be sent back to offshore detention at Nauru.
ABC reported the demonstrators gathered in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth, while smaller demonstrations joined together in Newcastle, Canberra and the Victorian city of Bendigo. The biggest protest in Australia was outside Melbourne’s State Library where at least 5000 people gathered.
