Australian law invalidated

samedi 4 novembre 2023 à 05:04

An Australian court has invalidated the law that authorized a minister to cancel the citizenship of people convicted of terrorism.

A free country can punish people for crimes, but exile should never be used as a punishment.

The right-wing law previously invalidated, that allowed cancellation of citizenship for a dual citizen based purely on suspicion, was even more unjust than this one. It was unacceptable in two different ways: punishment using exile, and punishment without proving a crime.
