[news] Racist White Australia Deports Brown Australian Citizen

[Resist!ca]

"[I]n 2001 a BROWN Australian citizen, Vivian Alvarez (Solon) (married name Vivian Young), was taken from a Lismore hospital (in a wheel chair, confused from mental illness and with her head bandaged from car accident injuries) and fairly promptly and secretly deported by plane to the Philippines. She was not heard of since UNTIL LAST WEEK (when, thanks to media reportage, she was fortuitously found to be in a Catholic hospice in the Philippines), even though Immigration became aware of their mistake several years ago. Vivian Alvarez has family in Australia including her 2 young children. The conservative government refuses to have a proper judicial inquiry."
