At least 25 medevac detainees are expected to be released from Brisbane immigration detention, with others from around the country to follow this week.

At least 25 medevac detainees are expected to be released from Brisbane immigration detention, with dozens more from around the country to follow this week, some after spending over a year in hotel or alternative places of detention.More than 20 men detained at Kangaroo Point Central Hotel and Apartments were the process of being released on Monday morning

The lawyers of one of the men set to be released said the detainees would be given a seven-day humanitarian visa, which would be followed by a six-month bridging visa. Ebrahim Obeiszadeh, 44, is an Iranian refugee who has been in offshore and onshore detention for almost eight years after arriving by boat in 2013.

"Now that they are going to release me, it's not because they like me or they are happy for me to be in Australia," he said.
