FED:Protesters climb onto minister's roof

SYDNEY, April 29 AAP - Protesters have climbed onto the roof of Immigration Minister
Chris Bowen's Sydney electoral office.

The three members of the Cross Border Collective, a Sydney-based group, are calling
for the minister to meet the demands of detainees protesting on a roof at Sydney's Villawood
detention centre.

The group will stay there "until the demands of the people protesting in detention
are met, and all those incarcerated are released into the community, where they belong",
Emma Kefford, one of the activists currently on the roof, said in a statement released
on Friday.
