Refugees set to be granted bridging visas more than a year after they were transferred to Australia under now-repealed medevac laws

Refugee advocates say more than 20 men who have been detained in Melbourne hotel rooms for over a year are set to be released.

One of the detainees being held at the Park Hotel in Carlton, Mostafa “Moz” Azimitabar, tweeted on Wednesday that 26 refugees being held in the hotel have been granted bridging visas.

Breaking : Twenty six refugees who were locked up in the Park prison have got their Bridging Visa right now. Congratulations!!!
