Why

On Saturday the 25th of January, an Aboriginal inmate was bashed by the corrective services Immediate action team at Long Bay Correctional Centre.

After being tear-gassed and beaten by officers, he sustained head lacerations, a broken eye socket, broken ribs and ankle.

It has been reported that he has not received any medical treatment for the past 5 days nor has he eaten anything since the incident.

This is inhuman behaviour and unjustified. Withholding basic medical care and general health needs like food, nutrition and hydration is against the basic human rights.

The family will be attending this weekend on Saturday to protest and demand the end to brutalization in custody.

Join the family this weekend! Meet on the corner of Anzac Pde & Bilga Cr.
