A South African neo-Nazi will return to his home country after Australian authorities detained him for weeks. The man was held in immigration custody following a protest at the New South Wales Parliament.
The protest involved a small group displaying banned Nazi symbols. This led to police intervention and the subsequent detention of the individual on immigration grounds.
Australian officials confirmed the planned repatriation. They stated the decision follows a review of his visa status, which requires all non-citizens to pass a character test.
The case has highlighted Australia's strict approach to individuals linked to extremist ideologies. The government has recently strengthened laws against displaying hate symbols.
