From The Age: Haneef to be Released

Terror suspect Dr Mohamed Haneef is to be released from custody, Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews has announced.

Mr Andrews told reporters has made a “a residential determination for Dr Haneef”.

“Rather than being detained in immigration custody, he will be released into residential detention, which means he can reside in his unit on the Gold Coast.

“If he wishes to reside (elsewhere) any reasonble request can be met.”

Under the conditions of his release, Dr Haneef would be required to report to Immigration Department by telephone either every day or every few days, and once a week report in person, Mr Andrews said.

Mr Andrews said he would seek further advice from the Commonwealth Solicitor General about whether he would need to reverse his decision to cancel Dr Haneef’s visa.

You bet your job you do.
