Misinformed Andrews should release Haneef - Brown



Greens Leader Bob Brown says that Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews was
seriously misinformed in deciding to detain Dr Mohamed Haneef and should
reverse that decision.

Citing today's report by Hedley Thomas in The Australian, Senator Brown
said that if Minister Andrews relied on wrong departmental advice that
Haneef lived with terrorism suspects in Britain, his detention of Haneef
involves a serious miscarriage of justice.

"Minister Andrews must dispel the evidence that Haneef has been framed
by false departmental advice," Senator Brown said.
