“Unfortunate detention in Thailand” has to be the understatement of the decade. Hakeem was so so close to being sent back to Bahrain where I believe there is little doubt about the outcome if that had occurred. The day that Hakeem was walked out in handcuffs and leg chains really was a defining moment. I honestly believe that if someone hadn’t been there to shout out support as Craig did, if the world’s media hadn’t been the to capture and broadcast that interaction.... then I think that Hakeem’s story would be very different indeed. Love him or hate him, what Craig Foster did saved Hakeem and his family’s future and possibly his life. For that I am incredibly grateful. I just hope that Graig himself is getting the support that he needs. Watching him speak in front of waiting media, and then at later events, his emotions are very evident and close to the surface. As a human being watching him become emotional, my reaction was of concern for his wellbeing. He mentioned feeling incredible guilt for the many other people caught up in asylum and refugee detention and that must be an enormous weight to bare. Thanks mate for what you did for Hakeem back then. Take care of yourself and all the best to you and yours. 🙂🐿🌈❤️ [sydney australia]
Query 2...Where is the ABC and Australian Story and every Australian journalist with the slightest sense of morality while Julian Assange rots in foreign prisons and is slowly being killed in full public view ? Come on Australia.
Why a refugee, allowing to travel ? And I thought he was arrested in Thailand, while playing for Australia in a soccer game there ? So he was arrested because he went there for his honeymoon ?
He was arrested for a crime he did not commit in Bahrain. He is a political refugee in Australia as the country wanted to arrest him despite a strong alibi.
And the biggest joke is, international news reported that he was arrested in Thailand while playing for Australia national team, so we thought he was arrested while playing an international game there, then that's not right. No, he was on honeymoon. Why is a refugee allow to travel ? And he don't have an Australian passport and he can play for Australia ?
@@janjanbeckham8 you know why ? because they are all f......en sellouts 😠 please please man from somewhere in the world.... please make us win something. Then you are Australian. If you reverse it , it is ridiculous. Imagine me playing for China and then now I'm Chinese .......f....en dumb. Even in 100 years and multiple children later we would not be Chinese 😠 or Africa or Japanese or middle eastern.
@@janjanbeckham8 yes they are allowed to travel under the united nation passport because when you are on visa protection, you are classified as refugee in which you can have united nation passport to travel outside australia

It'd be nice if "people power" also helped Julian Assange
Real hero in real 💪 life .Bless you 🙏 ♥ Craig
Craig foster is a bloody legend.
Best man in the world craig Forster
That was a rollercoaster! What a journey that ended well :)
Wrongly accused and unable to speak his opinions in his own country. And top politicians trying to blame him for lost votes-- that's ridiculous
I went straight to comments to say That.
NOW BRING OUR very own Award winning Hero Austalian JULIAN ASSANGE HOME
craige bionic man.
It's a pity Julian Assange didn't also play football !
Nice guy foster. June 2015 I was in hospital. Small place at ashfield. Your ex wife was there too. Told me and the other patients all about you.
heartwrenching
Hakeem came to my school today i have his signature
الحمد لله على سلامتك ياعزيزي حكيم
Hakeem came to our school
And if he wasn't a football player who plays for Australia? Who'd help him then?
Bring home Assange!! Why so much effort for a refugee and not an Australian?
