Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields: What are Asylum Seekers fleeing from? Date: 21st August 2013 Time: 12:30 PM - 13:30 PM Location: EH 1.001 To gain more knowledge on what causes someone to flee their homeland in hope of safety in Australia join Murdoch's Refugee Rights Action Network for a documentary screening about Tamil refugees. When: Wednesday the 21st of August 12.30pm Where: Murdoch campus room EH 1.001 Although the number of asylum seekers arriving by boat made up just 0.03% of the Australian population last year we hear so much about them. We hear they are 'illegals', 'queue jumpers', ' human cargo' and most recently they are a 'national crisis' but how much are we told about the atrocities they are fleeing from?
