Protest at the Open

Two activists were arrested after invading centre court during the Australian Open men's final, unfurling a banner protesting against the treatment of refugees.

Security officials quickly encircled Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray when the women jumped on court during the second set.

A white banner draped over advertising hoardings on the side of the court on Rod Laver Arena read "Australia Open for Refugees #shutdownmanus."

The two were taken from the court by security officials with at least four others, wearing Australia Open Refugee t-shirts, led from the grandstands before play resumed after five minutes.

Tournament organisers later said the pair were arrested after causing "minimal disruption".
