“If someone poses a significant terrorist threat to our country, we will do everything possible within Australian law to protect Australians,” Dutton told reporters in Brisbane.
Abdel Nasser bin Barika was convicted on three counts of terrorism. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for leading a terrorist group, belonging to a terrorist group and possessing material related to the planning of a terrorist act.
Ben Barika remains detained in an Australian prison despite the end of his sentence. Australian law allows the continued incarceration of any convicted person on terrorism charges for three years after the end of their sentence.
Bin Barika’s lawyers have contested his continued detention. They have 90 days to challenge the cancellation of their visa and their return to Algeria.
Abdel Nasser bin Barika became the first person to be stripped of his nationality while still in Australia.
Australian law does not allow a person to be stripped of their citizenship unless they have another nationality.
In 2019, Australia revoked the citizenship of Neil Prakash, who was accused of recruiting terrorists for the “ISIS” organization, who is currently detained in Turkey.
Australia claimed that it had Fijian citizenship, but authorities denied it, straining relations between the two countries.
