Hakim Oreibi in Thailand
Hakeem al-Oreibi, a Bahraini footballer imprisoned in a Thai jail for more than two months, has arrived in Melbourne, Australian television channels said.
Al-Oreibi, 25, was released Monday by the Thai authorities after Bahrain withdrew his extradition request.
He fled Bahrain in 2014 and obtained refugee status in Australia. He was arrested at Bangkok airport last November, when he and his wife arrived in Thailand for their honeymoon. He was arrested after Interpol issued an arrest warrant at his request at the request of Bahrain.
The arrest of Oreibi has sparked international criticism.
