Five members of the Monash Refugee Action Collective gained access to the roof of the campus centre at the university鈥檚 Clayton campus on July 27, as part of a protest against the Gillard government鈥檚 treatment of asylum seekers.
The students hung several banners over the side of the building, including statements of their support for asylum seekers, their stance against mandatory detention and the 鈥淢alaysian solution鈥.
The activists were joined by supporters on the ground who handed out leaflets and made speeches to other students.
