The government has formalised the decision to cease all deportation proceedings against Warren Marriner. He has been released from detention and is now back with his family. We will continue to monitor the integrity of his visa status to ensure this outcome remains permanent.

Australian authorities had again sent the wrong message to all directions when it comes to fight against extremism and possible terrorism.
Upon his return to Perth, Australian security agencies had detained peace and anti-extremist activist New Zealand citizen Warren Marriner and notified him of intension to revoke his visa. He is currently detained in Redcliff Perth immigration detention centre.
Mr Marriner was visited by AFP agents before his departure to Syria to participate in our First International Tour of Peace to Syria. He was also interrogated at Perth airport en route to Damascus.
We consider Mr Warren Marriner a prisoner of opinion. Authorities have no legitimate reason to detain and deport a person for his opinion, even if this opinion contravenes the opinion of our politicians. This move gives worrying signal that our authorities are using terrorism threat to silence people on issues related to the origin of radicalisation and terrorism in our society.
We demand Australian authorities to retreat from its decision to detain and deport Mr Marriner.

Legal counsel is currently reviewing the detention notice to identify procedural errors in the agency's decision. We are preparing formal correspondence for the Department of Home Affairs to challenge the legal grounds for his continued confinement.

The current level of public interest has forced oversight bodies to acknowledge our administrative inquiries. I am finalizing the formal request for legal transparency regarding the detention of Warren Marriner to be delivered to the relevant ministry this week.

Warren is a soft hearted dedicated nursing professional always ready to assist people in need in Australia and beyond. Let him return to do his job. Greatly missed in the emergency department.
Instead of arresting secular peace activist... our authorities need to arrest terrorists returning from Syria after joining terrorist organisations there.... I am deeply ashamed... and my vote in the next election will be for Syria....
Warren is a good friend and one of the most principled people I know. He has spent his whole life helping people, not only as an Emergency Nurse but as a peace activist and the authorities have revoked his Visa and plan to deport him because he tried help people in need. Warren Marriner I wish you the best of luck.
This is hypocrisy of the highest order. I request Australian authorities to use common sense before reverting to such extreme actions. Warren has been at the forefront of anti-extremist activism, he does not deserve to be treated in this manner. Please do not embarass yourself any further, and let this peace activist go.
Australia is sending the wrong message by putting innocent people trying to make a difference in detention centers.
Free the peaceful!

Detaining this man and personal friend of mine is ridiculous. He is the furthest thing from an extremist, he is a man who cares for all people suffering and keeping him locked up and deporting him makes me loose faith in the government of my country
