More than 90 Afghan asylum seekers have broken out of the Darwin detention centre and are holding a mass protest on the side of a busy road. The asylum seekers are holding signs which read: “Please help us”, “Show us mercy”, and “We are homeless, defenceless and we seek protection”. Two of the asylum seekers have told the ABC they are from Afghanistan and have been waiting up to nine months in detention. They say they arrived by boat and have now been refused refugee status in Australia. “Every week, every day, we going to die,” one of them told the ABC. “Nine months we here because that’s why I want to go out to talk with you, all of the population of Australia. “I need your help. “My children aren’t safe in this place; we don’t know where is our family.” (via Asylum seekers stage break-out protest - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
