Ned Kelly Emeralds is an Iranian man who was in Australian detention for 11 years, just because he came looking for refuge. During his time in detention he became a painful symbol of Australia's cruel refugee policies and a powerful symbol of the resistance against it.
All welcome. This meeting will be both face to face at the Kathleen Syme Library and via Zoom (link below).
