Academics from universities around the world  condemned the Australian government’s treatment of refugees in a joint letter last week.

Over 130 academics from nations including New Zealand Canada, Switzerland, the United States and Hong Kong, co-signed a letter that condemned Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers, reports Newmatilda.com.

“As academics working in the Humanities and Social Sciences, we are dismayed to hear our Prime Minister deny the ethical responsibility of this nation to adhere to the tenets and conventions on asylum seekers that are founded on moral bases, and which we as a nation have signed” read the letter.
