Protesters call for baby and her mum to be released from Australian detention

The federal government is under pressure to release an asylum seeker and her baby from immigration detention.

Protesters have blasted the federal government after a 15-month-old girl who has spent her whole life in immigration detention in Australia was rushed to hospital with the flu.

Baby Isabella Lee Pin Loong is the daughter of Vietnamese woman Huyen Thu Thi Tran, an asylum seeker detained at Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation (MITA) since she was about five months pregnant.
