David Hicks at human rights awards night
Government Attorney-General George Brandis has named David Hicks a "terrorist", after the previous Guantanamo Bay prisoner stood up to him at a capacity in Sydney the previous evening.
"You don't hope to run into a terrorist at a human rights honors occasion," Senator Brandis told a senate advisory group listening to toward the beginning of today.
Congressperson Brandis was wrapping up a discourse at a Human Right Commission recompenses presentation at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Arts the previous evening when Mr Hicks started annoying him.
"I was tormented for five-and-a-half years in Guantanamo Bay in the full information of your gathering. What do you need to say?" Mr Hicks said.
Congressperson Brandis said he was not at first mindful of the heckler's character.
"There was an arbitrary person, who ended up being a terrorist, hollering at the side of a space for around three seconds," he said, including he never felt his individual security was debilitated.
"The closest I went to the man who was yelling, who ended up being David Hicks, was no less than 10 or 15 meters away."
The Attorney-General finished his discourse and left the stage amid the upheaval.
