DELIVERYPOSSIBLE,
Djokovic has won an appeal against his decision to refuse a visa before the Australian Open.
An Australian judge has returned a visa issued to tennis player Novak Djokovic and ordered his release from prison.
Judge Anthony Kelly on Monday ordered that Djokovic be released within 30 minutes and that his passport and other travel documents should be returned to him, which also opened the way for him to win the 21st Grand Slam at the upcoming Australian Open.
However, federal government lawyers told the court that the interior minister was holding back his right to use his powers to revoke Djokovic’s visa.
Djokovic, 34, has been detained in a hotel locker room with inmates seeking asylum since Thursday.
