\nAngeline Loh works for the Malaysian human rights organisation Aliran<\/a>, which has published the independent media magazine Aliran\"\"<\/span><\/strong> Monthly for over 30 years, surviving numerous government attempts at censorship. Loh\u2019s writings played a critical role in exposing the horrible plight of the nearly 100,000 refugees trapped in Malaysia\u2014and opposing the Australian government\u2019s plan to deport 800 asylum seekers back there under the Gillard government’s \u201cMalaysia solution\u201d.<\/p>\n

Her organisation continues to champion the rights of refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia, as part of Malaysia\u2019s \u201cMigration Working Group\u201d, a network of Malaysian civil society groups and individuals who advocate for the protection of migrants, refugees, and stateless persons. She will speak from first hand experience about the conditions refugees en route to Australia who are stuck in Malaysia face, and the situations they have fled.<\/p>\n
