The leader of an Islamist extremist group that campaigned to bring Sharia law to Australia now wants taxpayers to free him from detention in the Middle East.
Ismail al-Wahwah, a former taxi driver who is now the spiritual leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Australia, was detained in Jordan late last month.
His son Anas al-Wahwah has revealed his father, who lived at Condell Park in Sydney’s south-west, was granted refugee status by the Howard government 21 years ago.
He has written to Foreign Minister Julie Bishop demanding she secure his father’s release from a jail in the Jordanian capital, Amman.
Queensland senator Fraser Anning, however, has called on the Australian government to ‘leave him there to rot’ in the Middle East.
