The Student Representative Council (SRC) of the Auckland University Students Association (AUSA) has voted to support the boycott action of the University of Jaffna and Jaffna school students in Sri Lanka. Two motions were put forward to the SRC by Nirupa George the Media Liaison Officer for Tamil Youth Organization New Zealand (TYONZ). Before the motion was put forward she spoke about the boycott, explaining the issues facing the students in Jaffna and how although New Zealand was halfway across the world, it is important to recognize human rights for the Tamil students involved and for fellow tertiary students to support each other.
