Lawyer renews plea for Hicks's release


"The lawyer for Australian Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks has asked for the federal Cabinet to formally review his client's case, now the US military commission process has been ruled invalid.

"David McLeod has made a renewed plea to the Foreign Affairs Minister to support his client's release.

"He emerged from Alexander Downer's Adelaide Hills office after what he described as a robust yet courteous discussion.

"Mr McLeod says he argued that the charges against Hicks are no longer valid due to a ruling by the US Supreme Court and there is no chance of his client receiving a fair trial.

"'I indicated to him that in my opinion the charges were no longer in existence and that David Hicks was now simply a detainee,' he said."
