Tennis Star Novak Djokovic Released from Immigration Detention as Australian Visa Reinstated

HeadlineJan 10, 2022

An Australian judge reinstated Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa and released him from immigration detention amid the ongoing controversy over whether Djokovic’s COVID vaccine exemption was legitimate. Australian government authorities say they could still intervene to revoke the visa and prevent the defending champion from taking part in the Australian Open, set to start next week. Djokovic’s case has intensified international scrutiny over the treatment of immigrants and refugees in Australia. Later in the broadcast, we’ll look at the people he leaves behind in the facility where he was detained.
