the people of the light - 1569

i like to remember that there are decent and thoughtful people in this country, too...

 

light the dark, a vigil to commemorate the death of reza berati, a 23 year old asylum-seeker from iran, in the australian offshore detention centre on manus island, along with the injuring of 77 other detainees

 

the australian government is actively concealing information with regard to the incident, though one doubts they'll be successful in the long run...

 

australia's international reputation has taken quite a battering in recent years - those overseas and locals who wonder whatever happened to the compassionate australia of past decades may take some hope from these events, held on short notice across the country
