Guantanamo lawyer Mori moves to Australia
The US military lawyer who defended Guantanamo detainee David Hicks has moved to Australia and is starting a new job in Melbourne.
The US military lawyer who defended Australian Guantanamo detainee David Hicks has settled in Melbourne with his family.
The Age reports Michael Mori will start his new job on Monday in the Lonsdale Street offices of the plaintiff law firm Shine.
Mr Mori, 46, was passed over three times for promotion after defending Mr Hicks and was critical of the US military commission trial processes.
In 2007 he was threatened with court martial for speaking out for Mr Hicks.
He told The Age that he finally secured his promotion to lieutenant colonel in 2009 and ended up as a military judge in Hawaii before retiring this year.
Mr Mori has to study some local subjects to gain formal admission as a solicitor in Victoria but will immediately take a role expanding his new firm's social justice work.
