Done By Law

Betia Shakiba is an Iranian refugee, human rights advocate and a solicitor at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. Betia has long advocated for an improvement in the treatment of asylum seekers, calling for reduced barriers to seeking asylum in Australia. For Iranians like Betia Shakiba, the recent conflict between Iran and Israel is more than just a news headline and strikes at the heart of her lived experience, and the concerns she has for her family still in Iran. Betia joins us tonight to discuss the developing situation in Iran and what that means for the Iranian community both overseas and in Australia. Information for Iranians in Australia: Refugee Council of Australia : https://www.refugeecouncil.org.au/support-for-people-fleeing-iran-gaza/ Refugee Advice and Casework Service - Info sheet: https://www.racs.org.au/legal-information - See ‘emerging legal issues’
