Rally at Jetstar corporate office calling on Qantas and all airlines not to deport asylum seekers to danger.
Qantas has flown countless asylum seekers to danger. In the US United, American, and Frontier have told Trump they won’t fly separated children of immigrants and asylum seekers other than to return them to their parents. In the UK Virgin won’t fly deportations of the Windrush generation. In Germany Lufthansa pilots have refused on hundreds of occasions to fly asylum seekers to danger. It’s time for Qantas to step up and stop aiding the Australian government commit human rights abuses.
This week another Tamil refugee, Thileepan, was forcibly deported and faces permanent separation from his wife and 10-month-old daughter. Priya, Nades and their children Kopica and Tharunicaa remain in detention in Melbourne. Only a final court appeal is
preventing their deportation.
Vietnamese asylum seeker Huyen also faces deportation and indefinite separation from her daughter Isabella and husband Paul.
Join us to demand that Qantas refuse to take part in these, or any other future deportations.
