Melbourne footballer and refugee Hakeem al-Araibi is still stuck in Thailand, after being detained there while on holiday two months ago.

Al-Araibi was tortured in Bahrain after he spoke out against the regime, which is now petitioning Thailand to send him back there to face charges.

So can Australia keep him safe?

And can FIFA and the International Olympic Committee help?

Today on The Signal, we get the latest on Hakeem al-Araibi's detention, and ask what could be in store for him next.

We also hear what the Australian Government has been doing in the background, unpack why the Bahrainis are pursuing al-Araibi, and ask why Thailand has been helping.
