We, the undersigned residents of Australia, hereby petition the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs regarding the case of Mr Peter Qasim, who has been in Immigration detention for close to 6 years. We believe Peter's physical and mental safety to be in grave danger if his detention continues.

We therefore respectfully request the Minister to arrange for the prompt issue, on humanitarian grounds, of the necessary instructions and documents for Mr Peter Qasim to be granted permanent residency in Australia.
