The Freedom Shop Aotearoa

The situation of the refugees who have been abandoned by Australia on Manus Island is getting worse by the day. They have been without food, water or medical supplies for 19 days now and many of them are acutely ill. On Saturday, the supposedly safe new camp in Lorengau was invaded by locals, armed with knives and machetes, who turned the electricity generator off. We need to get them here now! The Freedom Shop has put together two resources that can help spread information and raise awareness.   A twelve-page A5 pamphlet titled “The Manus Refugee Crisis – the story so far” provides a bit of background on the Australian detention policy and the history of the Manus camp, before giving a day-by-day chronology of the events since the closure of the camps on 31 October. Download the un-imposed (good for reading on a screen) version here and the imposed (good for printing) here . The fold-up poster “Welcome Refugees” is a quick-read info sheet and call to action, on the back of a poster.
