ASIO error keeps Iraqi in detention until he went mad
The sole remaining detainee at Nauru has just been released after five years as a prisoner on the island nation's Pacific Solution prison.
The lawyer for an Iraqi refugee who has now been granted a visa says the decision proves ASIO was wrong to classify him as a threat to national security. He was refused a visa because ASIO had deemed him to be a security risk.
The Man's lawyer, Anne Gooley, said Muhammad Faisal was not a threat to Australia's national security, ASIO got it wrong.
"He should have had an opportunity to look at the things that ASIO relied on so that he could prove that he wasn't a threat."
[Muhammad Faisal was held on Nauru until last year, when he was moved to a psychiatric facility in Brisbane.]
