Darwin residents are campaigning every day for the Medevac refugees to be freed.
The fight to free nine refugees who have been locked up in community detention in Darwin for more than a year is drawing wide support.
The campaign, organised by Darwin Asylum Seeker Support and Advocacy Network (DASSAN), has now won the support of Darwin City Council which, on April 13, voiced its “strong opposition” to the refugees being indefinitely detained.

All are from Iran and all have been deemed to be refugees. They were brought to Darwin to receive medical care, which they could not receive on Nauru where they had been for seven years.
