Footballer Hakeen al-Araibi Arrives In Australia Following Release From Thai Detention

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 12: Refugee Bahraini footballer Hakeem al-Araibi walks with Craig Foster, former Australian football captain and commentator as he arrives at Melbourne Airport on February 12, 2019 in Melbourne, Australia. Bahraini refugee Hakeen al-Araibi was detained in November when he arrived in Thailand for his honeymoon, spending more than two months in jail while fighting extradition to Bahrain. Al-Araibi fled his home country in 2014 and was granted refugee status in Australia on the grounds he was persecuted and tortured in the Arabian Gulf state for participating in pro-democracy rallies.
