----- Original Message ----- 
From: FSP Australia 


Dear friends

The recent arrest of two members of the Tamil community in Melbourne is a serious escalation of the use of repressive terror laws. 

The Freedom Socialist Party supports this public meeting being organised by Civil Rights Defence and encourages the largest possible attendance.

Spread the word and we hope to see you there.

In solidarity

Melbourne Branch Organiser

Public meeting
Freedom of Political Association - BANNED?

Tuesday 12th June, 7pm

Mtg Room 1, Trades Hall, cnr Victoria & Lygon Streets, Carlton

Civil Rights Defence has called a public meeting in response to the
arrest of two Melbourne men on charges of support for the Liberation
Tigers of Tamil Eelam.  These arrests are an attack on the
Australian-Tamil community, many of whom left Sri Lanka to escape
persecution and state repression.  They also threaten the ability of
anyone in Australia to show solidarity with dissident groups and
persecuted communities elsewhere in the world.

Come and hear legal experts, community representatives and civil rights
activists address the question: How can we resist political fear-mongers
and rein in attacks on our right to dissent & freedom of political
association?

Speakers:

*  ROBERT RICHTER QC

*  PRATHEEPAN BALASUBRAMANIAM (Australian-Tamil Rights Advocacy Council)

*  VICKI SENTAS (Federation of Community Legal Centres)

*  OMAR MERHI (Brother of Barwon 13 Detainee)

*  AZLAN McLENNAN (Melbourne Palestine Solidarity Network)
