Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): The refugee Bahraini footballer Haeekm Al-Araibi arrived in Melbourne, Australia, from Bangkok, after about 70 days of arbitrary arrest there based on a Bahraini government extradition request.
In his first statement in front of dozens of media outlets and supportive Australians at Melbourne International airport, Hakeem said "I would like to thank Australia, the Australian government, Craig foster and media outlets".
"It is amazing to see all the people here. I will be strong for Australia. I love Australia. It is my country," he added.
Photos showed Craig Foster standing next to Al-Araibi. Foster later talked to the media and thanked Hakeem's supporters around the world.
