'Asylum Seekers\r'

'Imagine you live in a country with an oppressive government and even worsened your enthnic group is being persecuted by that government, would you not regard to leave even if it means selling either your possessions? This is a scenario faced by thousands of deal both year who argon classed as asylum searchers. Brindha, the 9 year old Tamil asylum seeker who on a crowded boat overhear the Indonesian coast, made a heartbreaking acknowledgment to Australian journalists to please save them, the prime subgenus Pastor delivered a cold reply: â€Å"I make absolutely no apology whatsoever for fetching a hard line on abominable immigration to Australia.\r\nThe 253 asylum seekers †not illegal immigrants †on that boat had sacrificed everything they had to make a desperate exhort for safety from the systematic slaughter being molded on them by the Sri Lankan government. They are laming a circumstance where the Sri Lankan government is killing 1400 a week of the 300,000 d etained in concentration camps. This is a horror that drives slew to flee with nothing other than the clothes on their back, is what politicians and media scram taken to calling a â€Å"push factor.\r\n in that location is absolutely nothing illegal around pursuance asylum, about arriving without authorisation or papers, or about coming by unregistered boats as spacious as there is a legitimate footing maintains the United Nations. However the Australian Government tranquillise labels them illegal immigrants and places them in Detention Centres which in nigh cases results in the emotional and psychological damage to a refugee. In 2002, the Medical Journal of Australia described the uttermost(prenominal) psychological and emotional damage done to people detained in immigration detention in Australia.\r\nThe traffic pattern they describe includes â€Å"the development of a psychological state characterised by severe depression, despair, hopelessness, paranoia, chronic ra ge, persecutory delusions, sub-syndromal psychosis, characterological change and firm self harming behaviour”. In their sample, â€Å"all barely one of the detained asylum seekers displayed symptoms of psychological distress at some time during their period of detention”. 85 per cent had â€Å"chronic depressive symptoms” and sixty-five per cent had â€Å" enunciate ongoing suicidal ideation”.\r\nRefugees should not have to mystify in conditions conducive to mental disorders and suicidal tendencies. If the Australian government wishes to fix the problem they should fix detention centres, make the facilities more humane and turn slay the electric fence,( The electric fences around such centres are more harmful than that of Auschwitz concentration camp). The government should likewise provide faster processing of refugees so these people are not subjected to what is incarceration with committing a crime.\r\nIn 2002 protesters tore down the fences of Wo omera Detention Centre, assisting people deep down to make a courageous and inspiring breakout. They would not hesitate to do it again. Asylum seeking is an turn up that cuts right to the heart of everything that’s rotten and beastly about capitalism †its racism, its hypocrisy, its brutality and its utter patronage for humanity. We should all stand firmly for the rights of asylum seekers.\r\n'
