the Spartan detention conditions questioned

In a former hotel located at heart from Melbourne, the rooms are now occupied by migrants. They are forcibly held there, live in cramped rooms and are malnourished. “The best way to get them out is to bring to light the inhumane conditions experienced by these innocent people. And it took a world tennis star to be held in one place to talk about their case around the world.“, indignant Lidia Thorpe, Senator of the State of Victoria.

This forced isolation has been experienced by others and still bear the scars of it. “Confinement and quarantine, when you have children, it’s very hard. No one should stay there. Prisoners should be released“, is moved Kamaria Sharani, a young Afghan who, fleeing the return of the Taliban to power in her country, had to spend time in isolation on her arrival in Australia. Humanitarian associations have also denounced the attitude of the Australian authorities:”These prisoners are treated appallingly. I think nobody in this government cares about human rights“said Brad Homewood, human rights activist. At the heart of the Australian political debate, these immigration detention centers will continue to be talked about in the coming weeks.
