New development in the case of the Bahraini player arrested in ThailandSuch as Hakim Oreibi, a Bahraini footballer today in a Thai criminal court, to rule on his extradition to Bahrain.

Oreibi was arrested in Thailand last November after Bahrain asked Interpol to arrest him and charge him with charges of attacking a police station.

Al-Oreibi, sentenced to 10 years in prison in absentia in a terrorist case, denies all charges against him and should challenge his extradition request.

Nathaseeri Bergman, Ureybi's lawyer, said the latter would present evidence in court, confirming his refusal to extradite him to Bahrain.

Oreibi left Bahrain in 2014 and later obtained permanent residency in Australia, but was arrested in Thailand, where he went to spend his holidays.

The case sparked calls from the Australian Prime Minister and the International Football Federation (FIFA) to release Oreibi and send him back to Australia to avoid torture in Bahrain.

Chathom Akabin, director of the Attorney General's Office of the Department of International Affairs of Thailand, said the bureau believed Bahrain's request was in accordance with Thailand's law on extradition.

He added: "This case is not political, but criminal.Bahrain has evidence of criminal offenses committed by Hakim Oreibi.If he does not want to return to his country, he must appeal justice and that will take months.
