The united front

Over the Easter weekend of 2002, about a thousand refugee solidarity protesters gathered at the Woomera detention centre in South Australia. In dramatic scenes, the fences were pushed down by refugees inside – with the help of protesters outside. Some 40 refugees escaped in a huge embarrassment for John Howard’s Liberal government. James Supple was there and tells the story. James is a Solidarity member and an activist with the Refugee Action Coalition in Sydney.
