Australia is concerned by the ongoing detention of Mr Hakeem Ali Alaraibi and calls for his immediate return to Australia.
Mr Alaraibi was granted permanent residency by the Australian Government in 2017 in recognition of his status as a refugee. Returning Mr Alaraibi to Bahrain, from where he fled, would contravene his rights under international human rights law.
