Sri Lankan asylum seekers have been moved from a university housing block in Sydney after an alleged sexual assault on a student.
An asylum seeker said all the Sri Lankans were being moved out of the village.
“Some have left already for another place,” he told the Daily Telegraph. “They don’t tell us why. We will be moving tomorrow. The rest will be on the weekend.”
An i-Immigration Department spokesman said the asylum seekers would be relocated from the Macquarie University female accommodation ahead of a move off campus.
“Campus Living Villages has told the Red Cross they will no longer accommodate any refugees in their apartments,” the spokesman said.
“We expect the campus to be fully vacated by the end of March.”
Campus Living Villages confirmed the arrangement with Red Cross would be discontinued.
At the university on Wednesday a group of Sri Lankan men were preparing for their “room change” to the Sydney suburb of Parramatta. (BERNAMA)
