The author alleged that Australia violated articles 6, 7, 9, 10 and 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in relation to his immigration detention in and subsequent removal from Australia. The Human Rights Committee formed the view that the author's claims under articles 6 and 26 were inadmissible. However, the Committee found that Australia had violated articles 7, 9(1), 9(4) and 10(1) of the ICCPR, as well as article 1 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention.
