Indian doctor detained in Australia

No, I dont think its unfair, there are too many unanswered questions just to let this guy walk....There is other family members involved as well, and all the stories are contradictory....We cant risk this guy getting out..Good family or not has nothing to do with it...His lawyer had leaked information..Because we have a right to know whats being going on in our country...For gods sake he is a doctor...There was a staement put through the press..."Those who help you will harm you'...Not unfair at all....He's getting off lightly if you ask me...

hi Shanky Haneef coming from a good family does not make him innocent or guilty for that matter. The court will decide that. ofcourse its sad that he waas detained after granting bail. I also read that he was in the anti-ragging squad in his college but he has to prove his innocence to get out of the mess he is in. People are aware about the 'bail-granted still detained situation'. People in Australia itself are taking up that issue under Human Rights. So he will get the help he desrves if he innocent.

that seems to be rude of the people in australia to detain the man even after bailing his freedom out. or maybe, there were just some papers which needed to be processed before letting him out that's why he wasn't out earlier. well, i don't know anything much about it. but it sounds just unfair and strange to me... anne

It is a very bad news for doctors.

I am Australian. This incident has had a lot of publicity here. From what I have read, this Doctor was detained because he had aided an attempted terrorist bombing in London, the one we heard about recently. The terrorist was his cousin, and he gave him a SIM card, and kept information ftom authorities which could have prevented this attempt at bombing. He was detained trying to flee the country. This is a very serious issue, and most people would support the Australian government taking action against any involvement in terrorism.

I don't know why he was detained, but with what has happened in England recently I can see why they might detain him. All the doctors that wer involved in the car bombings were in good standing and had no previous conections to terroist groups. I am not saying that this doctor was a part of anything like that just that you never know.

The fact that someone is part of a 'good family' should have no bearing either way as to a criminal proceeding. It is that nepotistic type of statement that leads to great corruption in the world. In fact, two of the worst villans when it comes to personal terrroism came from 'good families'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Harris_and_Dylan_Klebold That being said, it appears that the truth in this matter is going to need to be decided by the courts. If he is declared innocent, at least he will have his freedom, even though he will more than likely be deported. It does seem unfair that he is in detention even when bail is paid, however, it also seems that not everyone is telling the truth. They can't be as there are so many contradictory news reports on the subject. However, the fact that his attorney is willing to leak classified document to the press leads me to not have much mercy on him. I'd love to see how this turns out.
