A former asylum seeker from Bangladesh continues to languish inside a notorious Papua New Guinea prison after yet another hurdle in his eight-year quest for freedom.
Helal “Spicy” Uddin is fighting Papua New Guinea’s immigration department for the right to return to Manus Island, so he can be with his wife and young son.
He has been detained in Bomana prison, near the capital Port Moresby, while his case works its way through Papua New Guinea’s legal system.
National Court Judge David Canning ruled in April 2020 that Uddin should be granted residency in Papua New Guinea for three years.
