And send the “Refugee Action Coalition” with them.
‘FEDERAL Police and asylum seekers have clashed in violent confrontations at the Christmas Island detention centre.
Two compounds were on fire last night and detention centres workers are understood to have been withdrawn.
Federal police have used tear gas and “beanbag bullets” in the last few days to control two disturbances.
Last night 250 asylum seekers were involved in a major protest, where tear gas was used.
The Refugee Action Coalition claims the police used a stronger version of tear gas that badly affected the protesters about 10pm last night, Christmas Island time.
They claim the latest protests started in response to a letter asylum seekers received from Canberra on Thursday afternoon, but the content of the letter is unknown.
“We are again calling for the Immigration Department and the police to act with restraint on Christmas Island. It is obvious that the use of force by the police is leading to escalating tension and confrontation. Independent human rights observers are clearly needed to ensure that peaceful protests are not being suppressed by heavy handed use of tear gas and bean bag rounds,” said spokesperson for the Refugee Action Coalition, Ian Rintoul said…’
These people are illegal immigrants, queue-jumpers and scam artists. As for Ian Rintoul and the organization he speaks for–these pricks are wilfully blind to the truth about the people they claim to represent, indifferent to the costs to the taxpayer and blind to the criminal scam being pulled at our expense. It’s just another convenient bandwagon and middle-class white hobby for these assholes and to hell with the downstream costs of their faux sympathy. Deport them as well, and let’s see how tolerant the Indonesian government is when they burn down their accommodation.
