On November 27, 2018, Hakeem al-Araibi, a well known football player from Bahrain living in Australia, arrived in Thailand for his honeymoon. When he landed, Araibi was separated from his wife and confined to a detention center. Thai immigration police had been waiting to arrest Araibi based on an Interpol “red notice” from Bahrain.
In February of 2019, as Araibi was being deported from Bangkok, Network 10 from Australia hired us to capture the event live from Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Although we were not able to gain access to Araibi in the airports detention center, we did get to Interview Evan Jones of the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights network (APRRN)
