The fate of Australia's longest-detained asylum seeker is shrouded in confusion after his family and refugee advocates were told he was to be deported from Perth. A former policeman, Abdul Khogali, 36, has spent the past seven years in the Villawood detention centre in Sydney, since fleeing Sudan in 1997. He left his home after refusing to enforce Islamic Sharia law, which includes the amputation of limbs and public execution. Mr. Khogali was to have been placed on a flight to South Africa Wednesday, but he never was. It is unclear exactly where Mr Khogali is being held, or whether he had been deported. If he is returned to Sudan, it is likely that he will be killed.
