600 Refugees in Australian Detention Centre Write Open Letter Demanding Assisted Suicide
2nd December 2015
I am not making this up.
Hundreds of refugees are thought to have signed an open letter calling for mass assisted suicide in the Australian immigration detention centre where they are being held.
…
Australian immigration lawyer Julian Burnside posted a transcript of the letter on his blog on Monday.
An obvious stunt to put political pressure on the Australian government to open the floodgates. Note what they did NOT ask for: Assistance in going back where they came from.
Speaking to Vice Australia, a refugee living on Manus, who gave his name only as Mahmud, claimed to have written the letter.
Living with Islam.
He said: “Recently Immigration is telling us there is no country that will accept us on this planet.
Can’t say that I blame them. Unmentioned: Where they came from, which could probably be persuaded to take them back.
