MELBOURNE: The Australian Government has said that Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef, charged with supporting a terrorist organisation, would be deported from the country after legal proceedings are over and if there is no new development in the case.
Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said Haneef will remain in detention until his trial and after that it is very unlikely he would be allowed to remain in Australia.
"The Federal Police will issue what's called a criminal justice certificate," he said adding "That means he will remain in Australia while the legal proceedings are on foot," according to ABC online news.
"After that, unless there's some new information provided or if there is some change as a result of legal proceedings, he would be deported," he said.
Haneef was granted bail yesterday after being charged with providing resources to a terrorist organisation.
But the Federal Government has revoked the Indian doctor's visa and plans to detain him at Sydney's Villawood detention centre.
Andrews said he did not act on trivial information and Haneef's lawyers will be provided with documents to show that.
"They can seek to revoke the decision and it can be looked at again and that's an administrative decision," he said.
