Crowd rallies for Somali refugee seeking abortion - 19/10/2015

Supporters of a Somalian refugee, known as Abyan, protested outside the Department of Immigration in Melbourne on October 19, 2015 after she was sent back to Nauru last week.
The woman, who was allegedly raped, was flown to Australia to have an abortion, but was returned to Nauru by a chartered jet on Friday, having reportedly been denied an abortion.
However, Australian Minister of Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton has indicated that the refugee may be flown back to Australia, should she request to be.
