S3 E4: Alison Battisson on AJL20 and Human Rights for All

In this extra content interview, Wig Stephen Lawrence sits down with Alison Battison the founder of Human Rights for All, a unique Australian pro bono law firm having a major impact on Australian migration and human rights law. Human Rights for All specialise in obtaining liberty for detained asylum seekers, refugees and stateless persons. They represented AJL20 (a Syrian man whose legal travails have been the subject of two previous Wigs episodes) in his proceedings before the Federal and High Court. Stephen and Alison discuss the man behind the case and the fascinating and important issues raised by this innovative and strategic (though ultimately, sadly, unsuccessful) piece of litigation. Listeners interested in donating to Human Rights for All should head to their website www.hr4a.com.au.
