00:00 Former Police Special Action Unit personnel Azila Hadri is awaiting a royal pardon in
00:08 a bid to escape the gallows for the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Sharibu in 2006.
00:16 UTSA Malaysia on Monday cited a source saying that Azila has been transferred to the Sungai
00:22 Buloh prison where he remains on death row while waiting for a pardon support decision
00:28 on his death sentence.
00:30 According to the source, Azila had been at Kajang prison before being transferred to
00:35 Sungai Buloh prison last September.
00:38 Azila's case is back in the spotlight after his co-accused Syro Azhar Omar walked free
00:45 from detention in Australia where he has been held for nearly nine years.
00:51 On November 8, Australia's High Court made a landmark ruling that outlawed indefinite
00:56 immigration detention.
00:59 Australian Immigration Minister Andrew Giles on Monday confirmed 80 people, including convicted
01:05 criminals, were released almost immediately.
01:09 We moved quickly to ensure that we issued visas to impacted individuals with appropriate
01:15 conditions to ensure that community safety can be upheld, including requirements to report
01:20 regularly to the department to inform the minister of any changes of personal details,
01:25 address, social media profiles, restrictions of industries, unemployment and a range of
01:29 other strict conditions.
01:31 The Australian Government has declined to deport Syro back to Malaysia where he faces
01:36 the death penalty and would be hanged if he returned.
01:40 Utusan reported that Syro is expected to remain in Australia where his family is said to be
01:46 residing in Canberra.
01:48 Thank you.
