As summer rolls on the Frontline Club has some sizzling events coming up - and if you can't bear the heat our Forum offers an air conditioned retreat. On Tuesday we'll be discussing the deteriorating press freedom and human rights situation in Sri Lanka and what the West can do to help.

On Friday we'll be screening the inspirational documentary Out of the Ashes, which follows the exploits of the Afghanistan national cricket team, followed by a Q&A with director Tim Albone and Afghan cricket coach Taj Malik.

Our special events include the second of our documentary matchmaking events in association with the Channel 4 BRITDOC Foundation and Rebecca Peyton's one-woman show about life after the death of her sister, BBC journalist Kate Peyton, in Somalia in 2005. We also have a new event scheduled: a look at Iran's history of detaining political prisoners without trial.

For the full programme, please visit our website www.frontlineclub.com.
