Amnesty International Gold Coast and Refugee support groups invites you to candle light vigil
Amnesty International Gold Coast group and Refugee support groups holding a Vigil at Surfers Paradise Demanding release the family from detention, allow them to return to Biloela and grand them permanent residency.
Release all remaining refugees from detention.
Accept the New Zealand Offer to resolve the problem with the refugees still trapped on Nauru and PNG.
Three-year-old Tharnicaa from Biloela has been medically evacuated to Perth with Mum Priya after being hospitalized on Christmas Island with a suspected blood infection.
Please join us at the beach-side of the Surfer's Paradise sign at the Esplanade, opposite McDonalds to support Tharni and the healthcare workers caring for her at Perth Children's Hospital.
Tharni had been unwell with vomiting, diarrhoea and dizziness for 10 days, with her temperature sometimes exceeding 40 degrees. We understand that detention center staff refused to take Tharnicaa to hospital until Sunday, despite repeated requests from Mum, Priya.
With her sister Kopika, QLD-born Tharni is one of only two children remaining in immigration detention in Australia. She just turned 4 but has spent 80% of her life in detention. She has never been separated from her Dad Nades or sister Kopika before.
We acknowledge that this event is being held on the lands of the Yugambeh people, and pay respect to elders past and present. Freedom for asylum seekers and refugees is wound up in the ongoing struggle of the Aboriginal people of this land. This was, is, and always will be Aboriginal land.
This will be a Covid-safe event, please check in and respect social distancing guidelines.
Where; Corner of Cavill Avenue and Esplanade, Surfers Paradise (sea side) QLD 4217
When: June 22nd Tuesday 6.00pm to 7.00pm
