The post was a bit of a wild rant as ...Hey Chandra. The post was a bit of a wild rant as usual. I don't know the details of this woman's case so there may be good reasons for detaining her but the point is that we are not told. People can be detained indefinitely without reasonable explanation. My response was emotional and uninformed but I can't understand children can be treated in this way.David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041580123414270092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27459292.post-50068100281148672332013-01-18T13:46:10.918+09:302013-01-18T13:46:10.918+09:30David,
Thanks for this thought provoking post and ...David,<br />Thanks for this thought provoking post and the link to Ranjini's story. Back in the 80s, I went to school with a lot of Sri Lankans. They went through hell; whether they were Tamils or Sinhalese.<br /><br />IMHO, everybody deserves to be treated as a human being with dignity. Just because a person wants to claim asylum, in Australia or the USA or the UK or wherever, especially under really hard circumstances, it does not make them any less human than the people who got to those countries before them. All of us just want to be happy.<br /><br />I pray for the wellbeing of all.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Peace :)<br />ChandraGreenComotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272116464292908327noreply@blogger.com
