( The rollercoaster ride of Dr.Mohammed ...)Haneefs Visa Revoked by Australia,Health

The rollercoaster ride of Dr.Mohammed Haneef, the man from Bangalore in southern India, continues .

He is destined to pay a heavy price for a small act of indiscretion, it looks like. He had allowed his SIM card to be used by his cousins, the key players in the failed Glasgow bombing.

At 2.45pm in Canberra Andrews announced he had decided to cancel Haneef's visa because the medico had failed the Migration Act's requirements for immigrants to be of good character.

The upshot of this decision is that Haneef will now be held in Sydney's Villawood immigration detention centre until his trial on the terrorism charges is finalized.

And even if Haneef is eventually acquitted by the Australian courts, Andrews decision would allow the Government to then deport him.

Civil libertarians attacked the minister's decision as a way of circumventing the Brisbane court's decision to release the doctor on bail and said it prejudged the issue of Haneef's guilt or innocence.

But Andrews insisted the legal process he had invoked under the Migration Act was separate from the criminal proceedings under way in Brisbane.
