Stand down, lawyers tell Keelty
1/9/09
The Australian Federal Police Commissioner, Mick Keelty, should stand down pending the outcome of the Clarke Inquiry into the handling of the Haneef case, the Australian Lawyers Alliance said yesterday. Its national president, Clara Davies, said the AFP declaration that terrorism suspect Mohamed Haneef was “no longer a person of interest”, while welcome, was disturbing. Dr Haneef had been forced to endure more than 12 months of false accusation after his arrest at Brisbane Airport on July 2, 2007 when his mobile phone SIM card was linked to botched terrorism attacks in Britain.
