Cleared Indian doctor to leave Australia
Afp, Sydney
An Indian doctor cleared of involvement in failed British car bombings will leave Australia for his homeland Saturday after authorities handed back his passport, his lawyer said. Australian officials told Mohamed Haneef he was free to leave a day after the doctor was released from custody into house arrest, after the case against him collapsed. While Haneef no longer faces terrorism charges, his Australian working visa remains suspended and Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said he would fight any attempt to have it restored. "I do not propose to change my decision and the Commonwealth will continue to resist this appeal in the Federal Court," Andrews told reporters.
