At the final of the Australian Open, not only the tennis stars caused a stir.
A speedster messed up the process - he had a special message.
Melbourne – Rafael Nadal against Daniil Medvedev is the name of the big showdown in the final at the Australian Open.
But for some, Australia is about very different fights.
A speedster brought a political message to the big tennis stage.
"Abolish Detention Centers" is written on a white sheet held in front of a man at 5-3 to Nadal in the first set tie-break at Rod Laver Arena.
According to instructions, the TV cameras avoided showing the speedster more precisely.
Shocking moment at the Australian Open: "Thank God the security reacted quickly"
"A fan jumped onto the court from the front row," said former tennis player Barbara Schett from Austria, who worked for
Eurosport
.
"My pulse went up for a short time, thank God the security reacted quickly."
Refugees and asylum seekers held in deportation hotels for nine years?
What is the message about?
A short time later, the "Fight together for Justice" account tweeted a short statement.
“The constant torment of refugees is happening yards from the game and it's not on TV.
Shame on all who are complicit in this regime.
It is time to liberate the refugees once and for all.”
On the profile, the account calls for support for the daily protest against the arbitrary detention of 33 refugees.
The
Sydney Morning Herald
reported that some detainees at the Park Hotel had been jailed for months - some for as many as nine years.
Australian Open: Novak Djokovic also had to stay in the hotel
33 refugees and asylum seekers are said to be staying in the hotel.
According to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, there are 70 of them in Australia.
Last year's winner Novak Djokovic also had to stay in this hotel during his hanging game for his entry before he had to leave the country again without taking part in the Australian Open.
According to the Herald's report, detention conditions pending deportation are "extreme".
The prisoners are allowed to leave their rooms, but not the hotel.
In addition, there is “little fresh air.
In December there were reports that the meals were contaminated with maggots.”
