All money raised will cover the fares to send Marion Le to Baxter
Immigration Detention Centre so she can represent a young Afghan asylum
seeker who is about to return to the Refugee Review Tribunal:
"I was lucky enough to meet this young Afghan in Baxter in January this
year. He could be the son of any of us, he is shy, sweet, and he misses
his Mum dreadfully. He grieves for family members killed, both in the
past, as well as one brother killed recently. Like the young people in
our own communities, he too deserves to be safe. He heard about Marion’s
trip to Afghanistan and he begged me to ‘find her’ and tell her about him. ”
(Claire Bruhns).
