Turnbull urged to speak out on human rights at ASEAN summit

Human-rights advocates want Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to stand up to South-East Asian leaders allegedly involved in human-rights violations at a special summit of ASEAN leaders. The ASEAN leaders are set to meet in Sydney this weekend to discuss trade and counter-terrorism. Thousands of police are expected to line the city streets during the meeting.
