Public forum with Angeline Loh, Malaysian Human rights activist, and Nick Riemer, Refugee Action Coalition.
Loh’s writings played a critical role in exposing the horrible plight of the nearly 100,000 refugees trapped in Malaysia, the country that Australia wants to deport desperate asylum seekers to. After a recent High Court decision cast doubt on all offshore processing, the Gillard government now plans to change the Immigration Act in order to circumvent the ruling.
Come along to discuss the conditions that refugees face in Malaysia and Australia's disregard of its obligation under international law.
