El Salvadoran appeal to Australia - Lara Pullin, on Schafik Handal



Lara Pullin talks about Jorge Schafik Handal, a visiting dignitary from El Salvador currently touring Australia and bringing us up to date on the situation in El Salvador that is becoming increasingly volatile.

Jorge Schafik Handal is in Australia to invite independent observers to come to next year's elections to frustrate anticipated attempts at fraud, and to ensure that the election results are recognised.

Already a number of public figures associated with the FMLN have been brutally assassinated by Death Squads.
