A vigil for refugees at the Sydney office of Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ended with police escorting a group of six pastors and Big Thing Chief: The Stolen Wifea nun off the premises.
SEE ALSO: Government gets an honest trailer after 'torture' allegations and it's bleakThe religious leaders were protesting the 'abuse' of asylum seekers in Australia's offshore, mandatory detention centres. Singing "Amazing Grace" and praying, the inter-faith Christian group broadcasted its protest via Periscope. They also read aloud the Nauru Files, which consist of leaked documents detailing the horrific treatment of refugees in a detention centre on the island of Nauru.

The protestors are from the organisation Love Makes A Way who regularly organise events and civil disobedience actions to stand against the "injustices of Australia's asylum seeker policies."

The organisation has staged several peaceful protests across the country, from the office of then-immigration minister Scott Morrison to community vigils, all in the name of refugee rights.
