SNAP RALLY TODAY
4:30PM
Walmsley Street
Yesterday morning one of the men imprisoned at Kangaroo Point tried to commit suicide while his wife (who lives in the community with their son only 20 minutes away) was in hospital. The man was then taken from KP, not to a hospital, but to BITA, a higher security prison, further away from his family and without even the small relief of a balcony where he would be able to occasionally see his family from afar.
This is what the barbarity of the mandatory detention regime pushes people to do. It is ongoing torture that tries to wear people down until they have no hope left. It has to stop.
We will be rallying outside the Kangaroo Point prison this Sunday at 4:30pm, in solidarity with the men inside and to call for their freedom.
