Sri Lanka: Human Rights Issues and Media Representation
Tuesday 10 November, from 6 – 8 pm.
Monash University Caulfield Campus
900 Dandenong Road
Caulfield East
Presented by the Victorian Trades Hall Council, Amnesty International, the Human Rights Law Resource Centre, the Alfred Deakin Research Institute, the Herb Feith Foundation (Monash University) and the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (Sydney University).
The recent turn back of the boat of Sri Lankan Tamil asylum seekers is a poignant indication of how bad the situation in Sri Lanka is, particularly (but not only) for Tamils, and it is hoped that this forum will generate more interest and understanding of the situation there.
