Huyen Thu Thi Tran and her daughter Isabella - who has spent her entire life in a detention centre - have been released after Ms Tran was granted a bridging visa. It's an emotional day, Ms Tran tells SBS News.
A Vietnamese asylum seeker and her two-year-old daughter have been released from a Melbourne immigration detention centre.
Isabella has lived at the Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation centre in Broadmeadows since her birth in March 2018. “We are so happy to see my husband and for us to all be together as a family,” she told SBS News as Mr Lee drove them away from the detention centre. Why has a two-year-old girl lived her entire life in Australian immigration detention?“When we got the news, although we are lawyers, there were many tears and hugs. We are invested in the lives of this family and many others,” she told SBS News.
