UN condemns Morrison failure to repatriate Aussies

MacroBusiness Access Subscriber Only Content at 10:30 am on April 16, 2021 | 26 comments The UN has condemned the Morrison Government’s neglect of stranded Aussies. It will probably mean the personality disorder PM does even less: The #UnitedNations Human Rights Committee has today ruled that Australia “facilitate and ensure” the return of #strandedaussies. We will keep fighting until these travel restrictions are lifted and their #HumanRights are respected. https://t.co/ev3CbwR1dm The UN Human Rights Committee has accepted our submissions that the petitioners would suffer “irreparable harm” if not permitted to return home and ordered their “immediate” repatriation to Australia. @FreeandOpenAustpic.twitter.com/CuA2gFoQHn

UN requests Australian government ensure the prompt return of two stranded citizens

Share on Twitter Advocates for human rights and Australians stranded overseas have welcomed a request from the United Nations for the federal government to facilitate and ensure the prompt return of two of its citizens. The government must now also respond to claims brought on the pair s behalf by human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC that Australia has breached international law by preventing them from returning home for over a year due to arbitrary caps on travel, stranded citizen advocacy group Free and Open Australia advocacy group says.  The United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) has been looking into complaints filed by the two Australians - Jason George and Alex, whose surname has been withheld. The pair are among the tens of thousands of Australians still stranded overseas.

Cameroon: Wave of Arrests, Abuse Against LGBT People

Repeal Law, Protect LGBT Rights Njeuken Loic (known as “Shakiro”) and Mouthe Roland (known as “Patricia”), two transgender women, in a Douala prison. © Private, Douala, Cameroon, March 2021 (Nairobi) – Cameroonian security forces have arbitrarily arrested, beaten, or threatened at least 24 people, including a 17-year-old boy, for alleged consensual same-sex conduct or gender nonconformity, since February 2021, Human Rights Watch said today. At least one of them was forced to undergo an HIV test and anal examination. Based on Human Rights Watch’s monitoring and discussions with Cameroonian nongovernmental organizations, the recent accounts of abuse documented here seem to be part of an overall uptick in police action against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Cameroon. Sexual relations between people of the same sex are criminalized in Cameroon and punished with up to five years in prison.
