APRRN, is a network of 193 civil society organisations and individuals working across 26 countries working towards advancing the rights for refugees and people in need protection in the Asia Pacific region, The Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network strongly condemns Australias actions. Smugglers thrive on exploiting desperate asylum seekers who can’t find protection. When states fail to protect people from persecution and fail to protect those who have fled persecution, then refugees are forced to move in search of protection. Trying to deter refugees with harsh policies will not stop people trying to protect themselves. It just forces them into the hands of smugglers and makes smuggling more profitable” said Dr Gopal Krishna Siwakoti, President, INHURED International, Nepal and Chair of the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN) This is worth the time to read -our colleagues who work across Asia with refugees say that our own governments actions is making their work harder and encourages other governments to act likewise.
