Sydney University Controversy
| by Gajalakshmi Paramasivam
( September 19, 2014, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) I read with interest the report ‘Shame on Sydney U : Stupidity & Ignorance’ by the Asian Human Rights Commission published in Sri Lanka Guardian
The controversy as I understand it seems to be that Sydney University looked at preventing torture by studying also the Sri Lankan armed personnel concerned (Ending torture means engaging with traditional foes by Professor Danielle Celermajer) whereas the Asian Human Rights Commission is looking at the higher level – to studying the politicians who give the orders.
