Members of the Tamil community in Australia, are concerned about the indefinite detention of 46 refugees who have been detained for many years now, even though they have all been recognised by Australia as genuine refugees.

Almost all of these refugees are Tamils of Sri Lankan origin.

They are being held because they have negative security assessments by Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). Negative ASIO decisions have effectively condemned these refugees to a life sentence.

Date and Time:

Sat, 08/03/2014 - 10:00am to Mon, 10/03/2014 - 5:00pm

Location:

Camp Eureka at Yarra Junction.

Camp Anarchy is on again! Hooray! It’s running over the Labour Day weekend - March 8-10, 2014 - in a lush bushland setting at Camp Eureka at Yarra Junction.

Camp Anarchy is organised by the same people who bring you the Melbourne Anarchist Bookfair held in August. Its inspiration is Pinksterlanddagen, an anarchist camp held in the northern Netherlands for nearly 90 years. At the Dutch camp there are stalls, workshops, anarchist theatre and music, and we hope to replicate this at Camp Eureka over the Labour Day weekend (March 8-10) in 2014.
