Kurdish author, journalist and human rights activist BehrouzBoochani has been appointed as a Visiting Professor of Law at one of London's top universities, despite being detained in PNG.

The Dean of the School of Law at the university, Professor Stewart Motha, says Mr Boochani will be a great asset to the institution.

He is set to participate in a number of events at the university's Centre for Race and Law, which will include research and public engagement symposia on the legality and politics of immigration detention, the first of which will be the UK launch of his book in early 2020.

"So far I think we have had more than one hundred events only over the past six months," he explained. "The whole process was very unfair...and more than 20 people were not processed at all, how do they know they are not refugees?"

BehrouzBoochani Oh please.

BehrouzBoochani Being on Manus makes him richer again.💰 He won’t leave because he is being paid to write lucrative books. Wonder if he shares his $100,000 & $25,000 (meant for Australians) prize money & book Royalties with others on Manus & Nauru

BehrouzBoochani He needs to state what the alternative plan should be for Australia to protect their Borders, while people by pass safe countries to come to Australia illegally. Is basically country shopping. Australia has a small population. We can't even afford to have 68 mill real refugees.

BehrouzBoochani How I wish you could escape this shit Behrouz! I despair. God knows how hard it must be for you. But congratulations on your appointment. They're very lucky to have somebody so distinguished. If only this country had a government which had nous to see what we're missing out on

AdamBandt BehrouzBoochani OMG Australia how low we have fallen.

BehrouzBoochani Awesome news but still the Australian government has Behrouz & many others imprisoned in inhumane conditions

BehrouzBoochani Congratulations !

BehrouzBoochani He’s Kurdish? One of the most persecuted nations on the planet. That explains it. They’re tough and we should allow everyone of them into the country after all they’ve done for us.

BehrouzBoochani Read the book to see what the government is doing in your name

BehrouzBoochani Great news, Mr Boochani. How much longer will the Australian government continue in its appalling, inhumane policies in the face of the evidence?

BehrouzBoochani Australian government locked this world renowned doctor up in detention. Who else have they detained.

rac_canberra BehrouzBoochani Unfortunately, he can't leave PNG. Perhaps scooter could offer up a morning prayer.

BehrouzBoochani Wow from being a Kurdish journo with his bf in Phil Faculty UNSW who writes ALL his tweets & book (BB’s English very poor...do the Brits know this?) to being a of Laws free to roam or to leave Manus...jerk opportunistic dweeb

Ausshot3Dave BehrouzBoochani Congratulations to a very special person. The Australian Government are the cruel fools.

BehrouzBoochani Congratulations brother.

AdamBandt BehrouzBoochani Zero point zero percent chance the London mayor rolls out the welcoming parade, in his crime infested city.

AdamBandt BehrouzBoochani Boo hoo.

WByng BehrouzBoochani Congratulations ... !

AdamBandt BehrouzBoochani Congrats Bahrouz

AdamBandt BehrouzBoochani Just proves he’s an economic refugee.

BehrouzBoochani To be a Visiting Professor, don’t you have to actually visit? That’s going to be difficult given his failed security clearances.

BehrouzBoochani Who is paying when he visits?

ItsBouquet BehrouzBoochani Murderers, rapists and some, I assume, very good people

BehrouzBoochani

ItsBouquet BehrouzBoochani don't you just wish he was an Aussie

marcialangton BehrouzBoochani And the LNP govt still won’t let him go. Sack the LNP govt now!

AlanJMitchell_ BehrouzBoochani How wonderful. And tragic.

BehrouzBoochani What a joke, hey?!? Degrees are just toilet paper these days if this is the case.

BehrouzBoochani What a joke, hey? Degrees are just toilet paper after this.

BehrouzBoochani Visiting professor of law as a criminal? That's some solid irony and totally undermining universities

BehrouzBoochani Got any legal qualifications? No? Sounds like a perfect candidate to be a member at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

BehrouzBoochani Dutton will probably not allow him settle in UK lest he comes to Australia on a British passport flying 1st Class! Same reason he is not allowed to go to New Zealand -and US will not have him because he was born in Iran! May PM Morrison be struck by lightning a la St Paul!

BehrouzBoochani No-one is offering him asylum, except PNG, which he has rudely ignored.

ChristineMilne BehrouzBoochani The auspol stand on Manus, Nauru & onshore detention is equivalent to a toddler stamping their feet & declaring the sky IS orange no matter what anyone says. For pity's sake ScottMorrisonMP, let the poor fuckers go & stop wasting everyone's time, money & dignity. Please.

BehrouzBoochani If he , by any chance gets a Visa , he can apply to stay in the U.K. The whole appointment is ridiculous 😂😂😂😂😂

BehrouzBoochani FFS

BehrouzBoochani Mr Morrison are you embarrassed by this? This appointment is a sad indictment on Australia’s off shore detention. It aligns us with similar European right wing governments. Now if Behrouz was an au pair sponsored by generous Liberal donors how different his fate would be.

BehrouzBoochani Congratulations Behrouz.

BehrouzBoochani

BehrouzBoochani 🙄 Looks like University of Technology Sydney isn’t the only place of higher education lowering entry standards.

drkerrynphelps BehrouzBoochani 👏👏👏

SBS BehrouzBoochani Congratulations Behrouz. Richly deserved.

BehrouzBoochani Move him to London.

BehrouzBoochani Money for nothing. Playing the system

BehrouzBoochani Where's a story on the Kurdish mothers crying demanding for the PKK terrorists & its 'political' wing HDP in Turkey to return their kids & stop recruiting them as suicide bombers? Oh wait, not YOUR type of kurds eh?! hypocrisy

BehrouzBoochani Sounds like he was smart enough to know he should not have tried to come illegally

BehrouzBoochani Next, Kurdish author is appointed on the board of the United nations. I'm getting giddy from all this virtue signaling!

BehrouzBoochani Is he a lawyer?

BehrouzBoochani I wonder if, now that he’s a professor of law, he might finally twig to this whole immigration law/people smuggling thing.

BehrouzBoochani He he NOT detained & can return home or take up a third country offer at any time.

BehrouzBoochani And so photogenic too. Well done SBS, the Politburo will be pleased.

BehrouzBoochani Kurdish author, journalist, human rights activist who's been free to leave PNG for years, if he did he wouldn't have the free publicity, the awards, the prize money, he's only sucked in the teardrop💧mob.

BehrouzBoochani

BehrouzBoochani Now let's hope our government relents even that much even to allow him to go the freedom there where has a post. Oh, wait, it's our government...

BehrouzBoochani Whats his fake professorship in? Country-surfing & country-scamming? Pity the country that takes him in. The guys is a gronk.

BehrouzBoochani Standards are dropping.

BehrouzBoochani rabidgreenlunaticleftcircus

BehrouzBoochani He could be the next pope and the current Aus govt wouldn’t let him off the island. It’s pointless & cruel & petty & stupid.

BehrouzBoochani Why the Australian government works so hard to keep people like this out of the country is beyond me. auspol2019

BehrouzBoochani lol todays uni degrees are a roll of toilet paper

BehrouzBoochani Haha these people are nuts

BehrouzBoochani Just imagine how much more he could achieve if not incarcerated on Manus.

BehrouzBoochani Kurdistan isn’t even real. It will never be a real nation.

BehrouzBoochani There you are ScottMorrisonMP ... how good is Australia. The world is truly is noticing Australia every single day.

BehrouzBoochani Ah - the pointless virtue signalling never ends.

Fayth43 BehrouzBoochani He is a coward

Shamindan1 BehrouzBoochani I'm astounded he gets away with what he's got away with. I looked at his lying face for 3 weeks in every 6 for 3 years. He's a liar, manipulative and deceitful. Yet somehow, gullible and naive academics treat him like a celebrity. He's not the messiah, he's just a naughty boy.

BehrouzBoochani Poms are welcome to take him, he should fit in well over there, but what is the bet he will prefer to stay on Manus Island with its balmy tropical climate, rather than move to England with its Melbourne style of unpredictable climate.

JohnJon57197743 BehrouzBoochani 👍😍

BehrouzBoochani Praying for your freedom, and that of all detained.

Shamindan1 BehrouzBoochani 😂😂😂😂😂 ‘visiting’

BehrouzBoochani If Boozer was a “Professor of Law” he would understand you can’t just decide to live wherever you want without a visa.

BehrouzBoochani He isn’t detained! He chooses to stay there. Fact

BehrouzBoochani The Poms can have him, they're already Islamised & stuffed so it won't make any difference.

BehrouzBoochani Seen the real London lately? wouldn't blame him if he passes on a resettlement offer.

BehrouzBoochani I wonder the talents of others who we’ve locked up....doctors, researchers, teachers, IT whizzes? Even if no qualifications I’d bet they would all be more than willing to work in our rural areas. Meanwhile the govt grants more 457 visas.

BehrouzBoochani Bravo Behrouz, you keep going from strength to strength, truly inspirational. I wish we could have you here in Australia to call our own. Onwards and upwards mate.

BehrouzBoochani 'One of London's top universities' do tell.

Prufrockery BehrouzBoochani Lol.

BehrouzBoochani Is that like an intern's position at KFC?

BehrouzBoochani How tragic and embarrassing is this for Australia. Could Professor at London University, approach Aus PM, to sponsor BehrouzBoochani

BehrouzBoochani Congratulations Behrouz. I have read your book and so admire your strength. One day you will have freedom I hope in a country that appreciates you.

BehrouzBoochani Suckers.

deniseshrivell BehrouzBoochani Would be proud to call him a fellow Aussie

BehrouzBoochani Boozie on his (imaginary) orientation at the University of London.

elgorbeh BehrouzBoochani Wow. I wonder if he could get a visa to go to England?

BehrouzBoochani CIA operative!
