These are obvious basic human rights needs that one might ask wherher Villawood Detention actually provides.
Relations, being able to express one self freely, communication, touch. A healthy environment, hope, love, comfort, freedom, justice.

The detainees at Villawood are human beings, and to severely restrict the possibility for human interaction with people from outside is a terrible way to treat other human beings who are already in a very difficult and stressful position. It's bad enough that we imprison people who are not breaking Australian law by seeking asylum here, but these new restrictions are an even worse stain on Australia's reputation with the rest of the world.

Placing restrictions just proves what refugee advocates have been saying for decades - that detention centres are nothing short of prisons. This is abhorent given that the people incarcerated have not been charged or convicted of a crime.
With refugees spending longer and longer periods of time in detention, often up to three years, visits are crucial for their mental and emotional well being.

This policy severely undermines the ability of visitors to habilitate asylum seekers. We should aim for progress in immigration policies through education, which this law undermines.

It is difficult enough for the asylum seekers to be imprisoned, without these new, harsh requirements. It helps Aust. in the future if these people are welcomed to Aust. and do not have to seek psychological help in the future. These people are human beings like us who are seeking a freedom in life.

This is a cruel turn of events. These people have been persecuted to an extent where they have to leave their homes. Now while being imprisoned even though they committed no crime, the people who wish to show them love rant being allowed in. What does it say about australia when we treat people in need like this?

People in detention need to keep their hope alive and having ordinary conversations with visitors, who live in the surrounding community and show that they care about them, is incredibly important.

Warehousing humans and then hiding them from the communty is a human rights violation. If you want more deaths in custody continue on the restrictive path you are undertaking- making it difficult for them to have regular visitors. If you have any decency and want to provide justice and real duty of CARE for the people you have been entrusted to care for, DROP the restrictions you are enforcing.

These people are breaking no laws, they should not be in detention as the UN Declaration of Human rights and according to Australia's own 1985 Migration Act. To continue to abuse their human rights by not allowing visitations is simply inhuman. I appreciate the complexity of this issue, but these are people precious human beings and their rights are being stripped from them when they already have so little.
