In November 2018, Bahrain issued a red notice for footballer and dissident Hakeem al-Araibi, who had fled Bahrain in 2014 and been granted refugee status in Australia some years later. He was arrested on arrival in Thailand with his wife for a honeymoon in November 2018 by Thai police on the basis of the red notice, despite the red notice being withdrawn a few days later on the basis of illegality, and is awaiting trial to fight extradition to Bahrain, as at 9 February 2019. There has been a worldwide campaign urging Thailand not to extradite him.[19]
