Family not letting me go back to Australia: Haneef

Bangalore, January 5: Mohammed Haneef, city-based doctor who was cleared of terror charges in Australia, on Saturday said he may not return to that country as his family was not letting him go back and was likely to work in the Middle-East.

"My family is adamant in not sending me back to Australia," said the 27-year-old medico, who has just returned home after a one-and-half-month Haj pilgrimage.

Haneef, who was working in Gold Coast Hospital in Australia, returned to India in July last year after being cleared of terror charges in the botched Glasgow airport suicide attack in the UK. The Australian Government withdrew all the charges and restored his visa a few days ago.

He said he has not decided on going back to Australia to work and hopefully would take a call in the next two weeks.

"Unless we get reassurance from the Australian Government and AFP (Australian Federal Police), we (he and his family) will not go back," Haneef said, describing days in detention in Australia last year as the "worst part of my life and a traumatic experience".

He had maintained in the past that he had been "victimised" and "harrassed" in Australia with his case being "politicised" in an election year in that country.

On the full judicial enquiry in Australia, Haneef said he would attend it if he is asked to do so.

Haneef said he is looking forward to work again. "I have a few offers from the Middle-East. I am looking forward to work soon".
