Adam Bandt: Park Hotel Refugees locked up with Covid
What’s happening right now Melbourne’s Park Hotel in Melbourne marks yet another dark chapter in this country’s bipartisan cruel treatment of asylum seekers and refugees.
At least 21 of the 46 refugees held there have tested positive to COVID-19. One is in hospital.
The name of the hospitalised asylum seeker is Mohammad Sohrabi. Prior to contracting the virus, he had requested a vaccine, and he’s now saying: ‘I don’t know what to say. I’m just trying to breathe.’
We cannot take back the years of suffering, but we can stop their torture today. Let them stay, get them the help they need and close the camps.
