Days after landing back on Australian soil, Hakeem al-Araibi has been welcomed home by the country's leaders at Parliament House in Canberra. Mr Al-Araibi spent two months locked in a Thai prison, facing an extradition request from Bahrain - the country from which he fled. That request was unexpectedly dropped on Monday after months of campaigning by human rights advocates and politicians.
