Refugee Action Coalition Sydney Newsletter, August 1, 2019


Refugee Action Coalition forum
Temporary Protection Visas and life in limbo for refugees


6pm next Monday 5 August
NSW Teachers Federation, 23-33 Mary St Surry Hills

Speakers:
Sabrin Farooqui (Shakti Refugee and Migrant Women's Support Group NSW)
Sajeda Bahadurmia (Rohingya community activist and TPV holder)
Ruby Wawn (Refugee Action Coalition)

Refugees who arrived by boat now only receive TPVs, meaning they must reapply again after three years, with the chance of rejection and being sent back, and have no right to bring family members here. The election result means they now face another three years of uncertainty and isolation from their families. Join us to discuss this situation and the efforts to demand justice.

Hundreds of TPV refugees rally in Canberra

More than 1000 refugees and asylum seekers rallied in Canberra on Monday, chanting "eight years in enough" in protest at their desperation at being denied permanent status and family reunion rights.
