COVID-19 protests in Australian immigration detentions

Refugee Action Coalition (RAC) and Human Rights for All are among many who are urging the Government to step-up to protect people in detentions amid the coronavirus. This comes as basic social distancing and sanitation measures are currently not met in detention centres.
