Ex-immigration detainee released back into community after AFP arrest in WA over curfew, ankle monitor breaches

Former immigration detainee Kimbengere Gosoge has pleaded guilty to breaching the conditions of his release.

He was originally facing six charges, but today four of the counts were discontinued and he pleaded guilty to two offences of breaching his curfew and failing to keep his ankle monitoring device in working condition. He initially spent time in immigration detention, but after they were both released, his brother drowned at a beach.

However, Mr Mola submitted Gosoge was finding it difficult to explain his situation to the Department of Home Affairs."He did not demonstrate a total disregard of the monitoring conditions … he was not acting nefariously," Mr Mola said.Mr Mola said the electronic monitoring of his client was "inherently punitive" and said the laws Gosege was subject to had "demonised a minority group of people like no other".

"The accused talked himself into thinking there was no real harm in breaching the curfew," Mr Young said.Speaking to Gosoge directly, he told him he would be subject to the same conditions – both a curfew and ankle monitoring – for another 12 months.
