Hi Friends, We have another exciting opportunity for 2000. The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and the Australian Human Rights Centre are looking at prisoners' rights following the defence of the vote. The inquiry will run during the year, involve prisoners themselves and end with a public forum. Justice Action is represented on the steering committee. Any ideas please pass on. Here is the notice that is about to be sent into all the jails in Australia as well as to the general public.

Where does Australia stand on prisoners' civil and political rights? And where are we heading? The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and the Australian Human Rights Centre are planning to promote research, analysis and debate on these questions during 2000. Details will be announced here in February.
