Protest Ruddock's treatment of Shahraz Kiyani
Support the protest action by people in Curtin Detention Centre
Shahraz Kiyani is in hospital in a critical condition after setting himself
on fire as a protest against the government's refusal to allow his family
to come to Australia.
Right now hundreds of people in Curtin Detention Centre are on hunger
strike and are protesting their conditions and resisting the deportation of
three people to Iran. The government and ACM's response has been to attack
people with batons and chemical weapons (CS gas).
We need to maintain our support for peoples resistance to the government's
border policy inside and outside of the camps. Please come to the following
actions and meetings.
