Will Thailand deport a refugee footballer to Bahrain?




Hakeem al-Araibi's case sparked an international campaign involving governments, activists and the football world.
Hakeem al-Araibi, a refugee living in Australia, fears he'll be tortured if he's deported from Thailand to his native Bahrain.
Despite international appeals to free the 25-year old, a court in Bangkok denied bail on Monday and adjourned the case until April.
He spent more than two months jailed in Thailand after being arrested at Bangkok's airport by Thai police acting on an Interpol red notice issued by Bahrain.
