We demand their immediate release.

Australian Progressive Legal Studies is back with a call for papers on the law and political economy of contemporary authoritarianism. If you want to help us understand WTF is going on, send us your abstract by the 11th of July.

We are-ahem-low budget, so we can only help with domestic travel.
