Abdurrahman Wahid
Once they assumed power many of my close friends
would often alter their stance toward me, become indifferent, or even declare
that I'm their enemy. Wahid was an important exception. Even when he was
president of Indonesia
(the first to do so through the democratic process) he remained steadfast in
our friendship. He had even invited me to be a guest at the presidential
palace.
George and
Lillian Willoughby served as a model couple. They lived together for more than
60 years with love and understanding. They led a simple lifestyle that
challenged mainstream society nonviolently. In this respect they are worthy of
emulation and respect.
SULAK Sivaraksa, who is in Melbourne for the Parliament of the World's
Religions, says he is known by many labels in his home country of
Thailand.
To some he is "the Siamese intellectual". "To the Thai Government," he says with some merriment, "I am the troublemaker."
Aged 77, Mr Sivaraksa faces three charges of defaming the Thai king,
which carries a possible sentence of 45 years in prison. "I could spend
my 120th birthday in jail," he says, again with some merriment.

Humanitarian effort at a "breaking point" United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
In the past months, more than 100,000 Sri Lankans have been
displaced from their homes in the violence-riddled north-east. “Every day,
families are arriving at the IDP camps in Vavuniya They have not eaten for
weeks and are in poor condition.Everyone is trying
their best, but feeding 130,000 people three times a day is a huge
task.”
Most of them only have the clothes on their
backs,” says Thamil Thanabalasundaram, Sewalanka Foundation’s North Regional
Director. “Until last week, the government and NGO sector were catering to
70,000 IDPs but last week nearly 60,000 people arrived.
