Refugee rights protest defies police intimidation
Channel: Green Left
Date: 16/08/2020

Hundreds of refugee rights activists protested the ongoing detention of almost 120 refugees in a Kangaroo Point detention prison on August 15.

Activists had planned a sit-in on nearby Story Bridge if refugees were not granted the capacity for day release, but this plan was amended in light of the extreme intimidation and threats of violence from Queensland Police.

The protest was heavily policed with many petty power plays by the cops.

A number of refugee voices were heard, thanking the protesters for coming out and criticising police intimidation and ongoing detention by the government.
