ASRC ACHIEVES MORE SUCCESSES FOR 20 ASYLUM SEEKERS!
We have had lots of great successes in last couple of weeks. We obtained a permanent visa for a chinese woman who faced certain tortued and imprisonment if returned to her country, a permanent visa for a burmese doctor who also faced torture and imprisonment due to his pro democracy work in his country, a permanent visa for a young ethiopian man who would have been imprisoned and possibly killed if returned.
We had the minister allow a man who has been in detention for years to apply again for asylum again, we had been able to get the minister to allow a sri lankan couple who has been for 9 years trying to gain asylum to be able to apply onshore for a parent visa giving them a grant chance of remaining in Australia and been successful in gaining a young man married to an australian with a baby the right to apply onshore for a spouse visa!
We are also close to gaining permanent visas through the ministerial stage for another sri lankan woman, an iranian family; and a disabled vietnamese man and an iranian man all of who face great danger in their countries with compelling humanitarian cases.
