Ahmed spent six years in immigration detention before he won a landmark legal case and his freedom. But when the government appealed that decision in the High Court, Ahmed and his partner Danice faced a difficult choice.
This story was first published by ABC Radio National’s Earshot, which divided the piece into two episodes. Part one can be found here. I was introduced to Ahmed and Danice by human rights lawyer Alison Battisson. Their story and many others will be included in a book about Alison and her fight to free people from immigration detention.
