Racist Australian Government harassing Indian doctor under bogus terror charges

The Australian Government is trashing human rights and civil rights. Its latest abuse of human rights involves the indefinite imprisonment without trial of an Indian doctor.
The latest victim of the government is Dr Mohammed Haneef who has suffered the following –
(1) he was held without charge and interrogated for 2 weeks under the draconian Australian Anti-terrorism Laws that allow for indefinite release and re-arrest “revolving door” detention (his second cousin is alleged to be linked to the recent UK London and Glasgow attempted bombings;
(2) he was then charged with “recklessly supporting a terrorist organization” (before leaving the UK a year ago he gave the unused mobile phone SIM card credit worth $20 maximum to his second cousin before heading for Australia);
(3) he was offered $10,000 bail by the Magistrate (who noted Australian Federal Police evidence that his only “offence” was to give his SIM card to his relative and that there was no evidence at all that he or the $20 SIM card were involved in any terrorist plot);
(4) however before he could exercise the option of bail (members of the public had come forward with the money) the Australian Federal Government stepped in and under the “good character” section of Australia’s notorious Immigration Act abolished Dr Haneef’s work visa – this immediately placed the Queensland doctor in a legal limbo in which he will be indefinitely imprisoned without trial until the current (ludicrous) charge is heard, appealed etc (according to legal experts, for several years) beyond which, if found innocent, he will be deported or indefinitely imprisoned again if charged with further offences (e.g. chatting with his second cousin several weeks ago about the recent birth of his child in Bangalore, India = “consorting with a terrorist”);
(5) his Brisbane, Queensland lawyers have not exercised the bail option (this means that Dr Haneef will continue to be imprisoned in Brisbane near his lawyers rather than being sent a a notorious “Immigration Detention Centre’ (Concentration Camp in Sydney, 1,000 kilometers away) and have appealed the Australian Government decision in the Federal Court;
(6) Dr Haneef’s wife (who has recently given birth) has indignantly approached the Indian authorities; the Indian Media are full of the story and the Indian Government has protested at the highest diplomatic level over this treatment of one of its citizens.

I call on all fellow TIG members to protest against the blatantly illegal and racist detention and harassment of Dr Haneef.

Since you live in Australia, you must know that the Australian Civil Liberties Union has condemned the government a large section of the public.
Letters to the editor of newspapers like the Age and the Australian are full os letters condemning the government.

It's not just this incident. The present Australian government is trampling on the rights of the aborigines as well. Not to mention, John Howard's antagonistic statement towards non-White, non-Christian minorities in the country.

Is that an order where innocent people are detained without charge for 2 weeks and then stripped of every human right and harassed by a racist regime after a court grants them bail?

The head of the ruling coaltion of the Indian Government and the most powerful politician in India is Sonia Gandhi. A Roman Catholic who is of Italian origin.
If you ever visited India, you'd see for yourself how well Christian minorities are treated..
But this discussion is about Australia and their government's abuse of an innocent man.

It's wonderful to see the Australian public standing up for Dr Haneef!
INSIGHT DOWN UNDER
By JEFFREY FRANCIS
The case of Dr Mohamed Haneef has led fair-minded Australians to question the integrity of their government.
THE saga of Dr Mohamed Haneef’s detention as a terrorist suspect has become an embarrassing situation for the Howard government.
It is, in fact, a fiasco – an over-reaction for political expediency, perhaps, in the year of the federal election. Not only has it caused diplomatic tension between Australia and India, which has demanded a full explanation of its citizen being held in custody, but also outrage from thousands of members of the Australian Bar Association, the Australian Medical Association and civil libertarians.
Even Federal Court judge Justice Jeffery Spender was “absolutely astounded” by the government’s position that an association with criminals – “a cup of coffee, a picnic with the kids” – is enough for a non-citizen to fail the Immigration Act’s character test.

There are many more resources on the web that discuss the persecution of Christinas in India, I just thought to list two.

This discussion is about Australia and not India..
The sites you listed have no credibility anyway and even if they did, that is not an excuse for what the Australian Government is doing.

Are you denying that Christian minorities have been persecuted for years in Indian and are still being denied human rights to this very day?
If you are mate, I don't see the point carrying on this discussion with you.
And its not an excuse for the actions of the Australisan govt, but it goes to show that the Indian govt is far more racist.
