Qld: Supporters of Dr Haneef gather outside court

Supporters of Indian doctor MOHAMED HANEEF have staged a rally outside the Federal
Court in Brisbane .. ahead of today's appeal against his visa cancellation.

More than a dozen people attended the rally condemning Immigration Minister KEVIN ANDREWS'
decision to cancel the visa.

However .. the activists' plea to motorists to "Honk for Haneef" received little support
from Brisbane drivers.

Queensland Greens Senate candidate LARISSA WATERS says Dr HANEEF .. who's now with
his family in India .. was treated as a political football.







Dr HANEEF will be represented today by a team of barristers headed by STEPHEN KEIM.
