The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) called for the immediate release of a Tamil asylum seeker (Kumar – not his real name) held in Australia’s detention centre network in May 2019. Kumar has been released from the detention centre but held in community detention.


His brother, Kokulan, and Alison Battisson of "Human Rights For All" talk to Kulasegaram Sanchayan about Kumar's plight and why he should be set free.
