The Bitter Shore The true account of Zahra and Saeed Badraie who, after fleeing religious persecution in Iran with their son Shayan, found themselves interned in Woomera Detention Centre. The Badraies were treated like criminals, surrounded by barbed wire and despair. Zahra and Saeed did the best they could to endure, never giving up hope, but for Shayan, Woomera was unbearable and irreversibly damaging. Jacquie Everitt is a vocal campaigner against mandatory detention of refugees and was instrumental in helping the Badraies gain refugee status. Lyrical, moving and shocking, The Bitter Shore is her account of the atrocious experiences of Zahra, Saeed and Shayan in Woomera and Villawood and the court case that took on the Howard government. |
