A Bahraini refugee who has Australian permanent residency has been arrested in Thailand and now faces deportation back to the Gulf state.
Advocacy groups say that should Hakeem Alaraibi be forced to return to Bahrain, the 25-year-old will be at high risk of "imprisonment and torture" due to previously speaking out against authorities.
SBS News spoke to Mr Alaraibi in Bangkok on Thursday, where he was arrested after travelling from Melbourne.
