A vigil for Tharnicaa, the youngest member of the Biloela family, who were sent to detention on Christmas Island, will take place in the Brisbane CBD this evening.
Organisers asked federal minister Karen Andrews to use her ministerial powers to bring Tharnicaa and her family home to Biloela, and believe their detention is ‘cruel and unnecessary’.
The three-year-old will spend her fourth birthday battling a blood infection in a Perth hospital.
The vigil is taking place on Friday the 11th of June at 5.30pm in Brisbane’s King George Square.
