  before\, on 29/08/19\, Priya\, Nades and their Australian born girls Kopi
 ca and Tharunicaa were dragged against their will by Border Force official
 s onto a Skytrader plane as part of a forced deportation attempt. Priya wa
 s separated from her girls. There is now a legal injunction preventing Kop
 ica from being deported before 4 pm Wed.\n\nWe must keep up the pressure t
 o let this family stay - mass mobilisation from the refugee movement allow
 ed baby Asha to stay after health workers refused to send her back to Naur
 u.\n\nThe Qld town of Biloela have mobilised to defend Priya\, Nades and t
 heir girls\, and over 200\,000 people have signed a petition calling for t
 he family to stay. The Coalition government must not ignore the groundswel

 h of the family's two young girls by prolonged detention. Forced deportati
 on risks greater harm. Priya and Nades are Tamil asylums from Sri Lanka. U
