Lawyers for retired Australian Law Professor Gill Boehringer have appealed against the deportation order issued to their client.


 Gill Boehringer was detained upon arrival last 7 August  and was told “You have been blacklisted, so you are denied entry, and must return to your place of origin on the next flight”. He was denied entry for allegedly participating in APEC protests which is said to be a violation of an order prohibiting foreign visitors from participating in rallies in the Philippines.
