Just popping over for a quick trip to Geneva. As you do when your a political prisoner. Start telling the truth you lying a'holes.

And us hard working taxpayers paid for the flight.... makes me sick 🤮

playing the Martyr . obviously not in prison .

Sudan via Indonesia to flee as a Muslim man of fighting age with (only) other Muslims fleeing countries INSTEAD OF FLYING HERE to seek asylum. Much much cheaper. Sudanese guys raped locals in PNG & used machetes to kill local men. Wonder if this is why he was shot by Police?

I’m fairly sure Nazis didn’t allow prisoners to fly from Auschwitz to Geneva to receive prestigious awards... weren’t we always told on the ABC that Manus is much worse than Auschwitz?

Since when do they fly prisoners to receive awards? ABC keeps telling us people on Manus are prisoners and are locked up, unable to leave.

he will have a runny nose when he is back and then medevac out to Sydney and a new house and the dole

i have read everything.......i see the joke but can't find the punchline

It’s a disgrace that this man has been in detention for 5 years.... This is not write his application should have been completed either yes or no... PeterDutton_MP Maybe if he was an Au Pair!!!😳 auspol LNP

Wins award for writing about imprisonment and no hope of release. Begins international book tour. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Refugee?

In case anyone was wondering, Abdul Aziz Muhamat was awarded the Martin Ennals ( who is he?) Award for Human Rights Defenders.

WTAF?

To all the smartarses in this thread ; 1) does this guy look like a terrorist, rapist or paedophile? 2) why does it take 6 years and counting to “process” asylum seekers, given the act of seeking asylum isn’t illegal ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp Labor and Liberal both culpable

Prestigious for who?

The conditions are far from cruel and inhumane! What aren't people researching this crap! We have Borders and we want them protected. This bloke is prepared to say and do ANYTHING to get to Oz. It's rubbish!

Travelled on U.N documents ? I hate the U.N

KateEmerson88 Geez that really doesn’t help his ‘The Australian government is keeping me a prisoner and torturing me and hiding the truth’ story

How did he escape? Aren’t these people locked up 23 hours a day and fed bread and water? Ohh so you’re saying they’re not actually locked up? Free to go home? Free flights to Switzerland too. Wow they are really taking the piss with the gullible bleeding leftists here.

Who pays?

'Prisoner' flies to Switzerland to receive an award then flies back to go back into prison. 🤔 Now can you see why your narrative on this one doesn't quite work, ABC?

Care to explain how a 'prisoner' gets to fly to Geneva to attend a knees-up and then voluntarily returns to a place where he alledges he is tortured 24/7?

What was the award for? Winning the Whinging World Championships?

'Prisoner' flies to Switzerland to receive an award then flies back to go back into prison. 🤔 Now can you see why your narrative on this one doesn't quite work, ABC?

Hold on, ABC reported that this person was a Prisoner on Manus Island. Is he a Prisoner or a political puppet? Can't have both. Pick one.

Funny kind of prison that manus Island, people just come and go when they please. Anyway Switzerland is nice safe country prehaps he could stay there.

i thought he was bound and getting tortured like .. LITERALLY TORTURED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless he came here directly, he transhipped via safe ports where he should have claimed asylum. According to our UN treaty, this makes him a secondary, economic, migrant, not a genuine refugee. Fraud TheirABC Contemptibles

Maybe he could apply as a refugee over there.

Lol wasn’t he a prisoner at Manus?!

Thought he was imprisoned on Manus? Apparently not. Free to come and go!

So he is now asking asylum in Geneva? What a shame. Can we send 299 more over there & see if they can be liberated by those brave Swiss Khazars? I'm sure the Aussie tax payer would be happy to pay for that 1 way ticket!

where do the leftys get their facts from to tweet such crap?

If the Manus Island 'refugee' was serious about asylum and if the conditions was really that bad on Manus Island (which of course they are better than allot of parts of Australia), wouldn't he be claiming asylum in Switzerland now that he is there? What a scam!

WhosFibbing GROGParty weird

The Australian govt.should give this man a job.Put some rational perspective on the whole issue.People like me don't know WTF to think.

this is like Cinderella ...

Good man

Geneva where all the world's corrupt politicians hide their stolen wealth when it could be going to the areas that need it & so prevent the sort of crises that causes refugees in the first place. What a wonderfully 💩 world we live in where even the do-gooders are really evil.

Shame on us Australia. We have deprived these people of their human rights in order to make an example of them. It has not and will not work.

How's that possible!!!! auspol

So, safe enough in PNG to travel overseas, not actually incarcerated, healthy enough to travel. But the Aust taxpayer should let him in as a ‘refugee’. What a damn crock of 💩 auspol fakerefugee economicrefugee

Please tell me he claimed asylum while there, please.

Perhaps he can apply for asylum in Switzerland. auspol

Good, perhaps he can claim asylum there.

He should stay.

Flown by whom?

WhosFibbing Nice bit of leftie treatment.

How about they keep him?

Good on him

If they want to give him laurels & love him so much why don't they let him stay.

Where’d he get the passport ?

Sunshine, the beach, snow skiing, all rent free, life is tough.

is he popping via the sudan to visit family?

The idea that people are dying on Nauru due to lack of treatment is ‘rubbish’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the idea that people are dying on Nauru due to lack of medical treatment is ‘rubbish’ and is a ‘vicious smear’ against the government. \n\nShe says 'there is no lack’ of medical treatment on Nauru or Manus Island because there are at least 65 health professionals to treat the remaining 427 ‘boat people’. \n\nMs Credlin says setting up a doctors’ panel with the authority to order asylum seekers to Australia for treatment is ‘a massive softening’ of Australia's border protection regime. Auspol Credlin lying as usual. But she is glowing No mental health facility which is the most needed because of liberal policies and no real operating theatre, Yeh great fucking hospital auspol
