Australia to review freeze on asylum claims from Sri Lanka

The Australian prime minister Julia Gillard says the government will decide soon whether to resume processing refugee claims made by people from Sri Lanka.

The government imposed a three month suspension on the processing of claims in April - allegedly to reassess the situation in Sri Lanka.

A six month suspension was also imposed on claims from Afghan asylum seekers.

But Ms Gillard says Australia needs to honour its international obligations.
