Letters to Tyranny #61

Dear Prime Minister,

Why was the 26-year-old Iranian, alias Spik, removed from Maribyrnong Detention Centre last week in handcuffs during the night and sent to Christmas Island? He is on of the victims of the attack in 2014 when Reza Barati was killed. His refugee status has not been completed and he suffers on going health problems from his injuries. Why has he been locked in with the 200 Australian prisoners who, according to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, include some of  Australia's "most hardened criminals"?

End this cruel and malicious policy towards asylum  seekers and bring them here.

Ruth Halbert
