Perth’s Tamil community affected by the plight of Sri Lankan asylum seekers heading to Australia

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:44:27 +0000

Perth’s Tamil community has been affected by the plight of Sri Lankan asylum seekers heading to Australia for refuge…..

The Australian government seems to have dangerously sided with Sri Lankan fake Buddhist Sinhala “loyalist” immigrants against Tamil immigrants in Australia + has moved to ban any Tamil resistance in Sri Lanka as being just terrorist organizations – regardless of the human rights abuses of the land-grabbing Sri Lankan government…..

In order to justify that mistake, Australia now seeks to oppress + suppress refugees arriving from Sri Lanka by whatever means – including desperately attempting to dump them upon third nations such as Indonesia, uhh. This is a gross failure by self-serving white settler society….. but the Australian authorities are guilty of their own deceitful land-grab (the “NT Intervention” – an oppression of First Nation black Australians + a kind of mini martial law, uhh)…..

Over the next six years at least Amnesty International will work to shift the balance of power together with those who have been so far denied a say as they tell their own stories and strive to engage in the processes that determine their own future….. http://www.amnesty.org/en/demand-dignity

The billions of people who live in poverty are shut out, ignored and denied security by the actions and failures of the powerful. This is a human rights crisis….. http://thereport.amnesty.org/en/global-themes/demand-dignity
