NSW:David Hicks takes fight to UN
Former Guantanamo Bay detainee DAVID HICKS is going to the United Nations in the hope
of clearing his name and getting compensation.
35-year-old HICKS has made a submission to the UN's Human Rights Committee.
He's seeking an apology from Australia for upholding and enforcing what he claims was
an unlawful charge and penalty as well as compensation.
Adelaide-born Hicks pleaded guilty to providing material support for terrorism and
was sent to Adelaide's Yatala Prison to serve the remainder of a seven-year sentence.
