Ex-socceroo Craig Foster is a busy person. Nowadays a sports commentator, he plays soccer as a hobby, and complements it with activism, helping Hakeem al-Araibi return to Australia, and his work in the Australian Republican movement. He dials in with Just Chat to talk about refugee rights in Australia and playing against one of the best soccer teams of all time. Supported by NobleOak.

Craig Foster sacrificed his entire life for a man he'd never met. Foster spent months flying around the world between FIFA, the UN and European embassies fighting for footballer Hakeem al-Araibi, who was wrongfully detained on his honeymoon. Prepared to lose whatever it took, including his house, Foster assured al-Araibi's wife that her husband wasn't going to die in prison. What unfolded was an incredible race against the clock.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig Foster is a former Socceroo captain, TV presenter, law student - he's even won the odd Logie Award. But at his core, he's just a guy from rural Australia, hoping to make an impact on the world. When he heard Hakeem al-Araibi had been wrongfully detained in a Thai prison, Foster reacted the only way he could. He quit his job, packed up his life and went overseas to save a man he'd never met.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The incredible story of Hakeem al-Araibi - a star Bahraini footballer turned refugee in Australia - who was detained on honeymoon in Thailand and threatened with deportation back home. His life hung in the balance until a massive campaign was launched to free him, spearheaded by former Socceroo's captain Craig Foster. 

On this weeks episode Seb and Jonno are joined by former Socceroo, Human rights activist and Stan Sports football analyst Craig Foster, as they discuss the growing influence of Saudi Arabia in world sport as well as the upcoming ‘Voice' vote and the Hakeem al-Araibi story being brought to the big screen.

  Today's guest wears a lot of impressive hats: Former Socceroo | Broadcaster | Adjunct Professor, Sport & Social Responsibility | Author | and Human Rights Activist Who else could this be but Craig Foster AM? Following a decorated football career as Australia's 419th Socceroo and 40th Captain, Craig has become one of Australia's most respected sports people as a broadcaster, social justice advocate, and human rights campaigner. Craig represented Australia in the Junior National Team at age 15 in the first FIFA Under 16 World Cup in China, 1985 where he was selected in the FIFA Team of the Tournament. He would later go on to represent Australia at senior level on 29 occasions including as Captain. Following retirement, he quickly became one of Australia's most respected sports broadcasters with an 18-year, triple Logie-winning career with Australia's multicultural broadcaster, Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) as part of The World Game (TWG) team which included five FIFA World Cups and four FIFA Women's World Cups as well as the UEFA Champions League, English Premier League and domestic competitions. He is a vocal supporter of a higher humanitarian intake by Australia and particularly an increased intake for Afghan refugees. A smidgen of his relevant humanitarian work efforts includes being: A member of the Australian Multicultural Council under the Department of Home Affairs, Immigration and Citizenship division An Ambassador for Amnesty Australia, the Affinity Intercultural Foundation, and Addison Road Community Centre including their #RacismNotWelcome campaign for Local Councils across Australia, Pushing Barriers, an Australia Committee member with Human Rights Watch, Advisory Council member of the Australian Human Rights Institute, UNSW and a Director of the Crescent Foundation. His humanitarian activism extends to several, high-profile campaigns including #SaveHakeem to free Bahraini refugee Hakeem al-Araibi from a Thai prison for which he was a Finalist for the Australian Human Rights Commission Medal. He is a former columnist for the Sun Herald, author, and co-author of several books including ‘Fighting for Hakeem' by Hachette Australia, and writes for the Guardian, The Age, and other publications and holds a Professional Coaching License and helped guide dozens of Australia's finest young female and male talents, many of whom graduated to Australia's National Teams. In 2019, the Australian Financial Review recognized Craig as a ‘True Australian Leader', the Sydney Morning Herald as one of the ‘People that Defined 2019′, he was the recipient of the 2020 NSW Government Humanitarian Award for his work with sport and human rights, an Australian Human Rights Commission Medal finalist, was awarded the Australian Muslim Council 2020 Abyssinian Medal and was a finalist for the NSW 2021 Australian of the Year. In 2021, Craig became a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the Australia Day Honours List which he dedicated to and shared with his refugee friends and all refugees seeking safety around the world. In 2020, Craig contributed to the acquisition of Humanitarian Visas and evacuation of around one hundred predominantly female Afghan athletes from Kabul escaping the Taliban including the Afghan National Women's Football Team and Taekwondo athletes, as well as Afghanistan's several Paralympians who went on to compete at the Tokyo Paralympic Games weeks later.  Working with Australia's Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke, and Foreign Minister, Marise Payne as well as trusted members of the Australian Parliament, Craig used his sporting and political connections to secure the safety of many Afghans.  Shortly after the Kabul airport was closed to evacuation flights, Craig also assisted 15 young girls to escape a Kabul safe house while the Taliban searched from house to house for them and acquired the Humanitarian Visas for them to resettle in Australia. Somehow, Craig was nominated as one of Australia's Best Dressed Men despite spending his life in ripped jeans and board-shorts and still plays football for the Waverley Old Boys Over 35's in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia where he tries to relive old glories. Today, Craig advises on athlete activism for some of Australia's most prominent sportspeople and is an Adjunct Professor of Sport and Social Responsibility with Torrens University, Australia where he has developed an online course called ‘Sport for Good' which teaches athletes and sport practitioners how to utilize sport for social justice and progressive issues around the world. Craig holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB), a Master's Degree in International Sports Management, and a Postgraduate Degree in Football Management. In this episode, Craig discusses: How do you define human rights? Maybe a practical example of what that is in practice. Is it just about equality of opportunities in a legal and moral sense or much more? What prompted you to become a human rights advocate? Was there a trigger for you that made you focus on this and what keeps you going when issues like Manus Island detainees among other cases must sometimes feel like they will never go away? Many of us witnessed through the consistent media coverage your role in freeing footballer Hakeem al-Alraibi in 2019. That was a relentless campaign and one that I imagine you had to pull on every lever you had to make that case stay front of mind in not just the media but the government's agenda. Reflecting on that experience, what did that reveal about Australia's human rights approach? We have a problematic human rights record in Australia and the First Nations people have suffered and continue to suffer – for example, ABS figures from 30 June 2021 stated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners made up 30% of all prisoners and 78% had experienced prior adult imprisonment. And life expectancy remains much lower than non-Indigenous Australians. How can we rectify this huge and relentless situation faster and in a way that is humane? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Human Rights?   To connect with Craig: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-foster-am-69b9a72b/ W: www.craigfoster.net

Imprisoned and being tortured, footballer Hakeem al-Araibi was at the mercy of the Bahraini government. But after former Socceroo Craig Foster led a national campaign that involved foreign ministers, Thai prisons and the heads of FIFA, Hakeem was set free. In freeing Hakeem though, Craig put himself, his reputation and his family at risk. Luke Darcy aims to explore that situation, analyse how Craig made that call, and understand what it meant to balance the life of Hakeem, with the safety of his own family.

Just under a year ago, the Bahraini footballer Hakeem al-Araibi stepped off an aircraft – which flew from his adopted home Australia to Bangkok in Thailand – to celebrate his honeymoon. Before he could reach the terminal building, he was picked up by Interpol and thrown in a Thai prison, on the authority of the Bahrain government, for speaking out against the alleged persecution of footballers at the hands of the ruling regime during the 2011 uprising.A few weeks later, Mary Harvey was unveiled as the first chief executive of the Centre for Sport and Human Rights, walking into an organisation that was at the heart of an extraordinary story that was being played out on the world stage – despite that fact that is was a few months old.It was a baptism of fire for Harvey, who was a World Cup winner and Olympic gold medallist with the USA Women's Team in the 90s. But her work in mobilising a movement – which included FIFA and the players' union, lead courageously by former Australia captain Craig Foster – saw the safe release of al-Araibi back to Australia (where he had refugee status) in February 2019.During this episode of The Sustainability Report Podcast, Harvey will talk about the experience, which occurred during the first few weeks of her tenure, and explain why the creation of the Centre for Sport and Human Rights is crucial for the future of the sporting events industry.The Green Sports Alliance board member will also discuss her role in bringing the 2026 World Cup to the US, Mexico and Canada after playing a significant part in the development of the bid's human rights and sustainability strategy.

SBS soccer commentator Craig Foster believes that sport has the power to change the world . Craig was part of the successful campaign to rescue refugee footballer Hakeem al-Araibi. Now he wants to see a human rights code implemented in all aspects of professional sport.

Craig Foster played football for Australia in the 90s, honing his craft in leagues across Asia, Europe and here in Australia. These days he is a sports analyst for one of Australia's state broadcasters, and recently came to prominence campaigning on behalf of Bahraini footballer Hakeem al-Araibi, who was granted protection as a political refugee in Australia but was detained upon arrival in Thailand  while honeymooning with his wife. We cover the power of sport, the need to give back to community and his love for the those who’s life is centred around the betterment of humanity.

The story of refugee footballer Hakeem al-Araibi, and the global campaign that saved his life. Support the show.

On Sportshour with Shari Vahl we hear from football player and refugee, Hakeem al-Araibi whose detention in Thailand sparked an outcry. He has since been freed from jail after Bahrain withdrew its extradition request. He was detained in Bangkok in November on an Interpol notice requested by Bahrain. Al-Araibi denies all charges and speaks to us about his time in prison. Also this week Kathryn Webb and Whitney Jenkins join us to discuss a new sport designed by robots. Speedgate has been developed by a computer and we hear how it was designed and the other rogue (and sometimes dangerous) ideas which were put forward. The domestic football season in Scotland comes to an end with Celtic looking to complete an historic trebble-trebble. But seven places below Celtic in the table is Motherwell.

On this week’s episode, Allan and Darren begin on the topic of geoeconomics, which is a core focus of Darren’s research. Allan first offers his practitioner’s perspective on the definition and context of the term, with Darren following with his academic view. Both recognise that nation-states have long been practicing geoeconomic activities, but that the increasing prominence of the term very much reflects the particular challenges of the present moment. A recent Wall Street Journal story on Myanmar’s successful renegotiation of infrastructure contracts with Chinese financiers becomes the focal point of a discussion of the strategic consequences of economic activity, which in turn sees Allan and Darren debate whether the Sri Lankan port of Hambantota and the Australian port of Darwin indeed harbour such strategic significance as to warrant the geoeconomic frame. The discussion rounds out with Darren asking Allan for his advice on how future Australian governments can integrate geoeconomic approaches into future policy. Finally, the very high-profile case of Julian Assange, as well as two other members of the Australian community (Hakeem al-Araibi and Yang Hengjun) shine a spotlight on the consular work of Australian diplomats. What is the decision-making calculus the government, and consular officials on the ground, take when deciding whether and how to make representations on behalf of Australians who somehow fall afoul of local authorities while abroad? As always, we invite our listeners to email us at this address: australia.world.pod@gmail.com We welcome feedback, requests and suggestions. You can also contact Darren on twitter @limdarrenj Our thanks go to AIIA intern Charlie Henshall for his help both with research and audio editing, and Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.

A refugee soccer player who was detained in Thailand for three months under threat of extradition to Bahrain shook hands Thursday with Australia's prime minister, whom he credits with securing his freedom.Three days after he was released from a cramped Bangkok cell, Hakeem al-Araibi was welcomed into Prime Minister Scott Morrison's ornate office in Parliament House.Morrison and Foreign Minister Marise Payne had repeatedly lobbied the Thai and Bahrain governments on al-Araibi's behalf for his return to Australia where he is a permanent resident."Thank you very much. I'm so happy to be back in Australia now and I'm grateful to be here to live in this country," the 25-year-old said.Morrison said he was pleased al-Araibi had come home and looked forward to him soon becoming an Australian citizen.Al-Araibi had arrived in his home city of Melbourne on Tuesday on a flight from Bangkok where he had been detained since November following an extradition application from his native Bahrain.He came to Parliament House on Thursday morning to watch a soccer match played by lawmakers, supporters and stars of the Australian national women's team wearing the yellow uniform of Amnesty International and the blue of al-Arabi's Melbourne team Pascoe Vale Football Club.The former Bahrain national team player watched from the sidelines with the foreign minister, explaining that his hamstrings remained too tight after weeks in a crowded cell to play.The soccer match had been planned as a demonstration of support for al-Araibi when he faced indefinite detention. But instead, it became a celebration of his release.Former Australia national team captain Craig Foster had been a leader in the campaign for al-Araibi's release and played for Pascoe Vale on Thursday."We're all very worried about him," Foster said. "He's obviously riding on incredible adrenalin and elation. ""I would image ... in the next week or two or three, he's going to need some help. He's been through an incredible ordeal and I think that's exacerbated by the fact that he was a torture survivor previously," Foster added.Al-Araibi has said he was blindfolded and had his legs beaten while he was held in Bahrain previously. He said he believed he was targeted for arrest because of his Shiite faith and because his brother was politically active in Bahrain. Bahrain has a Shiite majority but is ruled by a Sunni monarchy.Bahrain wanted him to serve a 10-year prison sentence in an arson attack that damaged a police station. He has denied those charges and says the case is politically motivated.Al-Araibi was detained by mistake upon arrival in Bangkok on his honeymoon. Interpol rules do not allow refugees to be deported to the countries from where they fled persecution.He was released when Thai authorities shared a letter indicating that Bahrain had withdrawn its request for al-Araibi.Officials in Bahrain said the country "reaffirms its right to pursue all necessary legal actions against" al-Araibi.Al-Araibi says he fled Bahrain because of political repression and that he fears torture if he returns.

I’m prepared to end my career to save Argentine women’s football, that's according to Maca Sanchez. The Argentine footballer says the country's football Federation don't support women’s football. She says they are denied basic rights such as a salary, places to train, shoes, medical coverage and clothing. Hakeem al-Araibi has been freed from jail; after the Thail government dropped a warrant for his arrest by his home country of Bahrain. Lou Tona is the chair of semi-professional club Pascoe Vale in Melbourne, Australia where Hakeem plays. He says Hakeem is pleased to be back home in Australia and he made sure to bring home a present for his wife to apologise. Plus the kiss cam has been a staple of North American sports events, whether its baseball or basketball. Barry Stockhamer, former VP of marketing at the LA Dodgers, explains how the kiss cam became popular with the Californian club. However Emma Rees, Professor of Literature and Gender Studies at the University of Chester believes they cease to exist like grid girls.

Daily News Brief for Tuesday, February 12th: *)US lawmakers reach deal on border wall funding US lawmakers have reached a deal in principle to fund Trump’s border wall, but it's not what he'd hoped for. Republicans tentatively agreed to $1.4 billion, far less than the $5.7 billion the president demanded. The two sides are trying to agree on a deal that would placate Trump and prevent a second shut down of the US government. *)Delhi hotel fire kills 17 A fire in a New Delhi hotel has killed at least 17 people and left four others injured. The fire broke out at a budget hotel in a congested part of India’s capital. The cause is not yet known, but authorities said there was a "clear case of negligence" as building codes are often ignored. *)Bahrain refugee football player freed by Thailand, heads home Footballer Hakeem al Araibi has returned to Australia, ending a two-month ordeal in a Thai prison. The threat of extradition to his native Bahrain is now over. Authorities in Bahrain accused Araibi of crimes during the 2011 Arab uprisings. The footballer fled in 2014 and was given refugee status by Australia. *)Aid becomes flashpoint in Venezuela crisis Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido says a small first cargo of humanitarian aid has entered the country. The move comes despite a pledge from President Nicolas Maduro to prevent aid crossing the border. Since Guaido declared himself interim president on January 23, at least 40 people have died in street protests by both sides. *)Winter arrives at Game of Thrones hotel And finally, If you need a Game of Thrones fix before the final season airs in April, then head to Finland.

Mounting pressure on Thailand to release from detention soccer player Hakeem al-Araibi has not only refocussed international attention on alleged abuse of human rights and due course of law in Bahrain but also the apparent continued ability of autocratic and authoritarian regimes to enlist global police organization Interpol in efforts to silence critics.

It is day 65 of Hakeem Al-Araibi's detention in a Thai prison. And the campaign to get the refugee footballer released continues. Fifa, the IOC, the Asian Football Confederation are all lobbying the Thai authorities to release the player who has asylum in Australia. The refugee footballer was locked up while on honeymoon in Thailand in November. His wife has written to the that country's Prime Minister pleading for his release. Bahrain wants him extradited. Former Australia football captain Craig Foster who's been campaigning tirelessly for Al Araibi's release, joined now from Switzerland.

SportsPro editor-at-large Eoin Connolly and print editor Michael Long reflect on another eventful week in the sports industry: from the world of anti-doping, where Norway's Linda Helleland has announced a WADA presidential after the latest instalment of the Russia saga; to investment, where City Football Group has become a founder of investment fund Sapphire Sports; to soccer, where the Asian Cup has been overshadowed by the plight of Hakeem al-Araibi. There's also time to look ahead to two big oval-ball events: Super Bowl LIII and the return of rugby union's Six Nations. And Ben Spoont, co-founder and chief executive of Miami Heat-backed esports team Misfits Gaming, explains how he aims to create more physical touchpoints for a mostly digital fanbase.

In this podcast Sean Cottrell, CEO and founder of LawInSport, interviews leading sports lawyers, business executives, academics and athletes about the latest issues and legal developments in the world of sport.

The Australian Foreign Minister, Marise Payne, is currently meeting with Thai officials in Bangkok, advocating for the release of detained Bahraini footballer Hakim al Araibi, who holds official refugee status in Australia. Al Araibi was one of 150 athletes allegedly detained in Bahrain following the Arab Spring in 2011. If not incarcerated and allegedly tortured at that time, Al Araibi would most likely be playing in his national team tonight, in its Asian Cup clash with Thailand. Football's governing body in Australia, the FFA , has called for his release before, and overnight the world governing body FIFA issued a second statement calling for Hakim's immediate return to Australia. Absent in any of the discussions has been the Asian Football Confederation whose president is Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, a member of the Bahraini royal family. Sheikh Salman is a FIFA vice president. He ran as a candidate for the presidency of the world body in 2016. At that time the player, Hakim, who was living in Australia, called for an investigation into the role the Sheikh had played in the jailing and torture of Bahraini athletes who protested his family's rule during the Arab Spring. It is this complicated geopolitical web Australia's Foreign Minister is now trying to extricate Hakim from.
