"Sayed Abdellatif is still held in detention in Sydney even though immigration
minister Peter Dutton was briefed 18 months ago that evidence used in Egypt to
convict him was discredited"

Arbitrary indefinite detention of an asylum seeker with a valid claim and no
credible criminal record purely because it would embarrass politicians to admit
they wrongly called him a terrorist is a gross violation of human rights and
the law.
