In response to the murder of Kurdish Iranian asylum seeker Reza Barati in the detention centre on Manus Island last week a small group of protesters has established an ongoing vigil outside the Department of Immigration office at Casselden Place. While determined to maintain the action regardless, they would welcome support and ideally for others to join them. There is a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/592372480844016/
Tomorrow, Saturday 1 March, a rally is planned at the State Library at 1pm – see notice here: http://indymedia.org.au/melbourne-protest-for-refugees-close-manus-and-s...
