Australian Government to pay Mohammad Haneef for wrongly charging for terror

As per report of sources, Mohammad Haneef was detained for several weeks for having alleged terror links over a foiled attack on London and Glasgow; afterward his working visa was cancelled and he was exiled from Australia.

Speaking to the media persons General Robert McClelland, an Australian attorney said that he hoped that a confidential compensation would bring Mr Haneef and his family closer. He further added that the investigation result into Mr Haneef’s matter clearly projected that he was wrongly dealt and detained for nothing when John Howard’s government was in power.

Mr McClelland further said that the government would adopt the recommendations made in the Haneef case so further mistakes could be avoided.

Rod Hodgson, Mr Haneef’s lawyer, said that the compensation was considerable.
