To highlight the call for a 28 day time limit for immigration detention, Refugee Tales is releasing 28 tales online \u2013 one each day over 28 days on the website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.28for28.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.28for28.org.<\/a>\u00a0Writers and actors lend their words and voices to asylum seekers, refugees and people in indefinite detention.\u00a0CLUGG supports the Refugee Tales call for an end to indefinite detention. Over the next month we will be sharing 3 of the 28 tales that centre around the child&#8217;s experience.
