The High Court of Australia has ruled that the Albanese government's law requiring electronic monitoring and curfews for former immigration detainees is unconstitutional. The court's decision invalidates the regime that mandated ankle bracelets and curfews for over 200 non-citizens released from immigration detention in 2023. This ruling follows a broader legal context where the government has faced scrutiny over its treatment of detainees. In a related development, the Nigerian Public Prosecutor's Office has dropped treason charges against 119 individuals, including minors, who participated in protests against rising living costs last August. These events highlight ongoing legal and social challenges in both countries regarding the treatment of detainees and the rights of individuals in custody.
