Unlike most of us at the conference, she was not a politician, a lawyer or an academic (although she is a graduate in international relations), which probably helped make her speech seem more focused on practically than some of the others. She is Iranian born, trained in the Canadian Air Force, and has used her <\/em>profile<\/em> as a former runner-up in Miss World and a <\/em>singer and songwriter<\/em> to campaign on human rights issues. One of her main campaigns is to<\/em> stop child<\/em><\/a> <\/em>executions<\/em><\/a>, although the main offender on that issue is Iran, not China, so she didn\u2019t focus on that so much in her speech at this conference. She was also able to end her speech by showing a video of one of her songs<\/a> , which was rather hard for the rest of us speakers to compete against.”

\nNazanin Afshin-Jam and SCE Campaign greatly appreciate Senator Andrew Bartlett’s support of the Campaign to stop child executions in Iran and worldwide.<\/p>\n

Senator Bartlett  has been a member of the<\/em> Australian Senate<\/em> for the state of<\/em> Queensland<\/em> since 1997, representing the<\/em> Australian Democrats<\/em>. A consistent and vocal campaigner for<\/em> refugees and asylum seekers<\/em>, Senator Bartlett is the only Australian parliamentarian to have visited every refugee detention centre in Australia, as well as those on<\/em> Christmas Island<\/em> and<\/em> Nauru<\/em> (detention centres off the Australian mainland) where he went three times to meet with detainees. Mr. Bartlett has spoken many times on behalf of those living in poverty, as well as the physically and mentally<\/em> disabled<\/em>. He also takes a close interest in the environment and animal welfare. He was a strong opponent of Australia’s involvement in the 2003<\/em> invasion of Iraq<\/em>.<\/em> \n<\/div>\n
