immigration detainees

Australia’s immigration minister has ruled out concerns about mass deportation that circulated after the Migration Bill amendment was passed.

Doukoshkan is charged with aggravated assault, burglary, robbery, impersonating a public officer and unlawfully detaining a person to gain benefit.

The government has succeeded in convincing the High Court to supress details of ankle monitoring of immigration detainees, arguing it could enourage breaches.

Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan is one of a 100 immigration detainees released into the community following a High Court ruling.
