Australia criticises the human rights crimes of other countries but does little to offer safe haven to victims of those same regimes.
This meeting will discuss the hypocrisy and how can respond. We'll hear from a range of refugee speakers, including...
- Barat Ali Batoor
- A representative from Australian Tamil Congress
- An Iranian refugee
- A Palestinian refugee
𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐬
Barat Ali Batoor is a Hazara refugee, double Walkley Award-winning documentary photographer and professional film-maker who is currently raising funds to complete a film, I am Hazara, which documents his journey. He is also a lead organiser at the ASRC.
