Petition to remove Philip Ruddock, MP as immigration minister and begin a UN investigaion
This petition was published by Kennth Linder on Aug 16, 2001
Philip Ruddock, MP has shown a disregard for the human rights of asylum seekers taking refuge in Australia. These individuals have arrived in accordance with international agreements, yet they are treated as criminals and placed in "detention centres" with armed guards and razor wire, without having been charged or convicted of any crime.
Allegations of mental, physical and sexual abuse have come out repeatedly (including from non-detainees). yet have not been invistigated. We, the undersigned, petition for (1) the removal of Philip Ruddock as Immigration Minister, (2) a full UN investigation of these detention centres with appropriate trials for crimial activity (including human rights violations).
