Villawood Protest Day 2
Day two of protest at Villawood detention center saw about 200 people show up to voice dissent against the governments policy of imprisoning asylum seekers and people who have overstayed on visas.
People converged at the back gate of the facility. A loud speaker was setup where many people voiced their concerns about refugee policy and told stories from refugees. It was revealed that a detainee that was refused medical treatment tried to commit suicide.
It was also revealed that the NSW police had told local shop owners to close their shops during the protest as there may be violence against them. Defiantly they stayed open. It was also confirmed that at the convergence on friday at Campbell Hill Reserve, police had told families enjoying themselves in the park that they should be wary of the protesters because they might kidnap their children. Seriously corrupt police.
The protest then marched around the facility to the visitors entrance for a festive time with dancing, kite flying and music.
