Protest: 20 years of mandatory detention
20 years of mandatory detention is 20 years too long
May 6 marks the 20th anniversary of Australia's shameful policy of indefinite mandatory detention. People fleeing war zones, persecution and torture are locked up indefinitely, in a system that has seen scores of suicides, countless acts of self-harm and plunged many into mental illness. Join with us to send a message to the Gillard government that we will not stand for their racist political agenda.
