SA: Father visits Baktiari boys
Two boys who sought asylum at the British Consulate in Melbourne last month are beingvisited by their father inside the Woomera detention centre.
A detainee says ALAMDAR and MONTAZAR BAKTIARI, aged 13 and 12, are meeting their father,ALI, for the first time since Easter.
It's understood Mr BAKTIARI, who has been living in Sydney on a temporary protectionvisa, travelled to Woomera yesterday but arrived at the centre outside visiting hours.
On Monday, Mr BAKTIARI appeared in the Family Court in Adelaide to support his sons'application to be released from immigration detention.
The hearing was adjourned to next month.
Confirmation of the visit is being sought from the Immigration Department.
