Australia and Canada: Refugee Supporters Call For Release Of Advocates
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/WO1001/S00584.htm
January 27th, 2010
For Immediate Release
Three Refugee Advocates Detained by Indonesian Authorities for more than 11 hours
(Merak, Indonesia) - Tuesday afternoon three refugee advocates - Jessica Chandrashekar from Canada, Sara Nathan and Pamela Curr from Australia were detained by Indonesian authorities. After 11 hours the three individuals were released overnight but were taken in for questioning again today and still have not been released.
Ian Rintoul of the Refugee Action Coalition said the three were in Indonesia to meet with Indonesian officials and arrange humanitarian supplies for the 254 Tamil refugees. 'We are extremely concerned for their welfare and are demanding their immediate release,' Mr Rintoul said. 'Sara, Pamela and Jessica have done nothing wrong. They were in Merak because of their concern for the welfare of the people on the boat. The conditions on the boat are deteriorating day by day, and there is an urgent need for humanitarian supplies. They represent the international concern among refugee supporters and the Tamil community for the plight of the Tamil refugees at Merak.'
The asylum seekers, who have been living on a boat for over 100 days, are under threat of deportation back to Sri Lanka. One asylum seeker has died from having been denied medical care. Another person is in need of immediate medical attention for injuries sustained during the war. There are 31 children on the boat and one pregnant woman. All of the asylum seekers are suffering from lack of food and medicine and the denial of medical attention.
The boat Australia bound was intercepted by Indonesian Navy upon Australia's request. Australia, as a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, has a responsibility to protect these refugees. Human rights advocates around the world are condemning Australia and Indonesia for stalling the refugee boat for the past four months.
Through community outreach and media campaigns, Canadian HART seeks to raise awareness about the human rights abuses against the Tamil minority population in Sri Lanka. Working in collaboration with labour unions, student groups, faith-based organizations and community organizations, Canadian HART aims to draw Canadian and international attention to the situation of Tamils in Sri Lanka and to push for an international presence and monitoring of the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka.
For more information contact Canadian HART at (647) 836-6858.

A newspaper head gives collected money to the Sri Lankan war criminal head of state.
That state continues to rape and assault ethnic Tamils.
I'd be upset.
Thanks,
I wish the Canadian Media that covered the attack on the Tamil newspaper for giving money to the Sri Lankan dictator also covered the rape of the nine year old by 3 Sri Lankan soldiers that came out like 2 days ago and the serious violations of human rights abuses that the Canadian Tamils are concerned about. The news paper head and his buddies have lot of business interest in Colombo that the Tamil community here is well aware of, his paper has been running on loss for many years and the Tamil community is also aware of the source of funding he receives to maintain that newspaper. During the referendum vote the community held, his newspaper was instrumental in writing editorials to discourage people from voting by saying that the list of the voters will end up in the hands of the Sri Lankan government and it will be used to make sure that those who voted will never enter Sri Lanka and the relatives of those will be specifically targeted. The people I talked to were happy that there was a message sent to him but were sad that it had to be done this way. They are thinking about making sure he goes out of business for good or the Sri Lankan government wastes large of amount of money to maintain that paper with zero result. One of the reasons the Tamil community is holding elections and so on is to put an end to these self-appointed (Sri Lankan government sponsored) leaders of the Tamil community.
