    "People should be able to travel to terrorism hot-spots for
    legitimate reasons such as studying, learning languages or visiting relatives,
    Australia's human rights body says."

    The Australian Human Rights Commission is concerned about proposed counter-terrorism
    laws that will make it an offence for Australians to travel or stay in a declared zone
    where terrorists are active.
    People convicted of preparing for or participating in a foreign conflict face life
    imprisonment.
    At a parliamentary inquiry into the government's foreign fighters bill, commission
    president Gillian Triggs called for more leeway to allow "innocent" activity in those
    zones." AAP 10:59:50
