Djokovic saga throws light on migrants’ ordeal in Australia

Read Time:1 Minute, 56 Second

It was the most doubtful Australian hearthstone for the world’s number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic a grim, five- storey former hostel with no check- eschewal allowed.

For four nights, Melbourne’s ignominious” indispensable place of detention”for settlers came his residence no tennis courts, no swimming pool and no leaving.

Dozens of intelligencers and scores of suckers,anti-vaccination accreditation protesters and migratory rights activists rallied outdoors daily.
But the 34- time-old ace reportedly wasn’t seen by his fellow residers about 32 people held under Australia’s strict immigration policy, some of them for times.

And a day after the Serbian megastar left the detention centre as celebrating suckers sang and danced, his cancelled visa restored by a court, the media light left with him.
On Tuesday morning, there were only two TV journalists outside and no protesters.

A lonely cardboard sign read” Free Novak and all the deportees”. Chalk scribbled on the front of the hostel said”#gameover free the deportees”.

Days before, people had been scribbling graffiti on the walls, hangingpro-refugee banners from the structure, singing and dancing.

Among the blend of demonstrators were at least 20 activists trying to punctuate the situation of people caught up in Australia’s strict migration system.
On Djokovic’s first day in detention, activist Kim Matousek pointedly remarked on the interest being shown in the tennis ace’s brief stay.

“Well I find it kind of intriguing that they are protesting for Djokovic, he is only been in detention for lower than a day,”she said.
As for our musketeers, they have been in detention for what was it days now?”

Above Matousek, men at the installation had put up signs at the windows reading”Nine times too long”and”Are not we mortal beings like you?”
.The food served outside is of poor quality, she said.”The coleslaw smells like alcohol because it’s rotten, they will not eat it.”

The installation, formerly the Park Hotel, gained notoriety last December when a fire broke out in the structure. One person was hospitalised for bank inhalation. There were no losses.
A week latterly, shelter campaigners posted images to social media of food they said they were served, which contained bees and mouldy chuck.

Deviani Segal, a 54- time-old piano schoolteacher, was also demonstrating to remind people about those outside.
