Australian man Peter Gray who has been held in Mauritius on heroin trafficking charges is set to come home. The authorities dropped his case after he spent 16 months in prison. However Mr Gray will remain in Mauritius to testify as witness in another court case.Mr Gray's family lobbied the federal government to expedite the court hearings, but DFAT said it could not interfere in another country's judicial processes.
My personal reflection
I think that Mr Gray has right to ask for protection as an Australian citizen.

It is a good feeling to be protected as an Australian citizen.
