This is a re-upload of today's earlier video. This is due to a design error in the original video.
Hey Tifo, in the old video there was footage of a game in which Hakeem was in. Where did that footage go in this video?
hate to be a bother and it's really no big deal, but it says "identifield in a sports show"
I think everyone still gets it though, surely.
@@zedemonrko Purely accidental. We took the video down to edit out an inaccurate illustration and in my haste I managed to forgot to include the live footage bit. If anyone is reading this that didn't see the first version - there was a 3-4 second clip of Hakeem playing football on TV at the same time he was accused of committing the crime he was arrested for. Thanks John - Joe
@@Tifo why don't you take this down and reupload? i think that's a pretty imp clip
@@vvyenne9576 Because we've already deleted and re-uploaded once. Each time we do that it has a knock-on effect in terms of the number of people who will see this, how the algorithm treats it, notified subscribers being repeatedly re-notified. The video still makes that point clear: he was on tele playing football at the time of the alleged riot. It's unfortunate, but it's a toss-up between more people hearing about this story, and re-uploading again with the additional clip which doesn't really make the point much clearer than it is already being made in the video. - Joe
For those who cares Hakeem is now free and back in Australia.
thanks for letting us know
Never lose your integrity, guys. Not all subscribers are the same, but I’d like to believe that like me, others watching will be inspired to pay more attention and maybe act on the politics behind football, and we owe it to channels like you. Amazing video, guys.
Daniel Ibarra well said mate, well said 👏
This channel is a gem,you are doing so much with just football as a tool.kudos
Update on the story for those who wanted to know: under intense worldwide pressure, Bahrain requested that Thailand drop the extradition charges against Hakeem. He was released and has returned to Australia, where he has since been granted Australian citizenship.
There's a major issue with abuse of the Interpol Red Notice
Another political prisoner of football was Eduard Streltsov from Torpedo Moscow
Topical.
iirc they still call backheel passes a "Streltsov" to this day in Russia.
I play in this league against pasco vale, the league is so close knit and trying its best to get him home,
I hope it happens soon.
Which npl club do you play for?
Go Bentleigh Greens
This is terribly sad. Great video.
This is extremely sad😥, thank you Tifo for clearly explaining to us this👊🏽
What a brilliant video. Shedding light on a subject that, like others I image, I had no idea about. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A sad story but an important one.
I'm loving these insightful videos alongside your regular tactical analysis. It's important to highlight these issues as these despicable regimes try to sportswash their image. You guys are doing a great job by educating the people about these issues which are largely swept under the rug. Thank you for your truthfulness and honesty. You deserve more subs and views.
I just discovered this channel and I absolutely love the work and passion put into these videos
Shows how corrupt Interpol is.
im bahraini, great video i really appreciate bringing it up, thank you.
It is great to see Tifo Football did a video on this young man. I did know about him, but only through the article in the Blizzard.
So much respect for you guys for not shying away from the grey area between football and politics. 👍🏻
This is exactly the high quality, truthful and important items that this channel covers which makes me respect your work. During the World Cup other channels had a love affair with Putin's Russia, this one challenges and presents a different points of view, keep up the great work.
Hopefully this becomes more big so that the officials can do something and help theses player s
It might now after Jamie Vardy of all people tweeted about it on Sunday night
@@evonneokafor An update:
Hakeem al-Araibi was released from Thailand and returned to Australia continue his footballing life.
This has been said alot but this is by far the best channel about Football on the internet. If you guys were a TV Station i wouldn't change the channel. This is premium work.
thank you! this was well done
Interesting to see how even national athletes are not safe, even in their own countries who they represent :(.. great video Tifo!
Meanwhile in india we have a DICTATORIAL DEMOCRACY, he who criticises the government is either ANTI - NATIONAL or told by BJP ( ruling party ) & it's supporters ( fascist group & right wing ideology runned propagandist media ) to leave the country .

Thank you for making this video. This is super important.
This is important stuff. Thank you Tifo Football, you guys remain as always the best football media I know.
Brilliant and important video. Thanks for creating this
Absolutely disgusting behavior from Bahrain. What a god damn shame.
Love this channel
Still amazed how yous haven’t made a video on Bielsa s Leeds or Farkes Norwich!
Great video though guys:)
He’s been released! Now, he’s back in Australia!!
Love your videos
Again, thank you so much for uploading this and bringing a light to this awful situation! I support PVFC and hope to have our Hakeem back and playing soon! Thank you Tifo #savehakeem
Holy shit. You guys should cover some of the stories from my country, Colombia, back in the late 80s/early 90s. Andres Escobar particularly.
I'm in Bangkok. The junta (dictatorship) state has now disabled the likes and comments on this subject on many main stream news outlets. He's literally in SHACKLES now.. seriously, cuffed his feet .. and the Thai police watched him try to get of a bus's steps.. PLEASE SHARE!
Man... Thanks! You are an amazing person!
Press Release : Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Statement on the Australian-Bahraini Issue concerning Mr. Hakeem Al Araibi
1. Thailand had previously not been aware of Mr. Hakeem’s case and does not have any prejudice against him. Indeed, we would not have become involved in the issue had we not received the red notice alert from the Australian Interpol and the subsequent formal request by Bahrain for his arrest and extradition.
2. It took several days after the arrival of Mr. Hakeem, before the Australian authorities informed us that the red notice had been cancelled. By that time, legal proceedings in Thailand regarding Mr. Hakeem had already started and could not be reversed.
3. The case is now under the purview of the Court of Justice. In proceeding with the legal process, the Executive Branch cannot interfere with the judicial process. This is an internationally recognized principle upheld by all countries, including Australia.
4. We ask that everyone refrain from prejudging the Court’s rulings and prematurely jumping to the conclusion that Thailand will extradite Mr. Hakeem back to Bahrain. The Court will consider this case thoroughly and in accordance with the due process of law and the evidence provided, including Bahrain’s arrest warrant and court order for Mr. Hakeem, who had been convicted under Bahraini laws. In their formal request, Bahrain has provided us with all relevant documents. The Office of the Attorney General has considered those documents and found that they meet the legal conditions to be filed to the Court. Thus, the Office of the Attorney General has filed the extradition request with the Court of Justice for the latter’s consideration.
5. At the same time, the Thai Court is ready to consider all facts and evidence presented to it by Mr. Hakeem’s lawyers.
6. Thailand does not gain anything from holding Mr. Hakeem in custody. But as a sovereign country that has legal obligations and commitments to the international community, Thailand finds itself in the middle of a case involving two countries competing for Mr. Hakeem’s custody. Under such circumstances, Thailand has no other legitimate option but to (1) cooperate in accordance with the law and (2) suggest that the two countries, both good friends of Thailand and good friends with one another, talk to each other to sort out their problems and come up with their own solution, instead of trying to find an indirect solution from Thailand, who has only become involved in this case by chance.
7. We therefore believe that we have a legitimate right to urge Australia and Bahrain to talk to each other and find a mutually agreeable solution. No matter what that solution may be, Thailand stands ready to support it in order to achieve a result that is mutually satisfactory (win-win) for all.
8. Thailand hopes that Australia and Bahrain will have the goodwill to earnestly work together towards finding a win-win solution to this issue. In that way, we believe that those following this case in Thailand and around the world will praise both Australia and Bahrain for their efforts.

Another great video
HE'S COMING HOME!!
Just ban countries that actively violate human rights on mass scale from international football. Might be half the world but whatever. But oh no wait its FIFA so we rather host tournaments in them.
Abhi Ram and israel
Stupid solution why punish the entire population of a country? Embargo never hurts the leaders of a country, it makes the people more helpless than before. Look at Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, Cuba. Never worked and never will.
Look at the South Africa boycott during the Apartheid era. If the international community take a stand then these Arabs won't have a chance.
@@TahaAlZadjali It's a tool to raise awareness and as such very effective.
Will have to start with US, UK etc who invaded Iraq.
Great video. Players must be protected. It's football not war.
Would you ever do a video on the economics of the fifa transfer market? It’s really interesting seeing how SBCs can cause prices to rocket
It would be great if this was revealed alongside Salmans re-election campaign and he was pressured to drop the notice
Thats complete madness. Free hakim
I think this channel is much realer than even CNN news. It’s unimaginable how even athletes in Asia are treated like dogs and scraps to their own country and given a chance to defend themselves! @tifo pls continue and God bless u guys
It's propaganda, no different than CNN. Just a different target audience.
Schlomo Weissbergman-Goldsteinwitz, Ph.D. how? If the clubs are requesting his freedom to play? How is that propaganda?
Do an update on Hakeem and the legend Craig foster who did so much work on freeing him
He is free man now!
Hakeem is finally free to go to Australia
Thank you for shedding light on this. Videos of Bahrain police running down protesters with SUVs were circulated when the peaceful protest begun. Disgusting!
if he returns to pasco vale i will travel the 40 mins to an hour from my house to go watch his first game back pasco vale is an ametur club but if he gets back and plays well he might be able to get into the a league which is our (australias) national competition. it would be amazing and i hope fifa helps this guy out the fact that this kind of thing is going on is horrible all he wants is to play football and have a happy life :(
Challenge- do a Bio on Florentino Perez (Meet the owner's)
We share the same first name!
i was excited as soon as i heard 'Victorian"
could you make video about mohamed abu treka the former El Ahly player ?! he got interesting story to
You should do a video on the rise and fall of Dnipro.
NOTIFICATION GANG
Do the history of the England B team
They’re called Wales ho ho ;)
Could you do a video on paul scholes please?
him and Craig foster came to our school
Hope he gets the help he deserves
CAN U MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THE ONGOING CRISIS OF INDIAN FOOTBALL ,,,BETWEN INDIAN SUPER LEAGUE AND I-LEAGUE ABOUT UNIFIED LEAGUE
can you do video on soljakaer ?
What is the use to a teams owner if the team place say 12th instead of 8th in the league table? Does a team get more money if they place higher? Do the team get paid for qualifying for UCL
Could you do Bayern under Kovac
To this day, Hakeem still sits in prison. Thailand is proceeding with Bahrain’s extradition request and he goes back to court in another 60 days. International knowledge of this case is vital, many famous football players are now tweeting in support of Hakeem. Thank you Tifo for making this video.
If anyone is watching this in 2019, he was released by the government in February, and thousands of people recieved him in meblourne ;)
Would love to see you guys do something on the MLS and how it caters to the North American way of organizing sports.
Outrageous. The number of human rights is insane here! #freeHakeemalAraibi
Can you please make a brief history on ole skoljaer please
Was a sub par player at United for 10000 years, got his club relegated in the prem and went back to management in sunny Norway.
This is insane, and extremely sad.
Sorry if this will be irrelevant .. Can you do a video on Wolves?? They are causing problems to epl big six as by today Tottenham has lost to wolves by 3 goals
I thought this is part 2
Liberal institutions, and particularly the Australian government, should put pressure on Thailand to ignore the wrongfully issued red notice. This is a case where something like sanctions could produce a positive outcome.
God bless you my friends, may Jesus Christ be with you always.
@koolant - I can only assume it was meant to be an insult towards Jesus Christ and Christianity. It was an attempt to make me feel bad/angry.
As it happens, I'm in such a wonderful place thanks to God it doesn't bother me in the slightest. :)
I actually think it's really sad that some people need to make others feel bad in order to make themselves feel good, it's pathetic.
Agree with the part about standing up for yourself but you dont need to react that way. If you don't believe in god then it doesn't matter but people are allowed to believe in whetever they want to believe.
@@sneezylasagne8534 - You're not fooling me for a second, you only commented earlier to cause offense to someone, whatever your beliefs and opinions are you're just a sad troll.
You're obviously aware that you were being a dickhead because you went and edited your original comment to make it look less condescending and pathetic.
If you aren't mature & emotionally secure enough to have a conversation with someone without trying to insult them then I suggest you just don't speak to them at all in the first place.
Like the old saying goes, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all'.
Or my rendition of it, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, then shut the fuck up.'
@koolant - Ahh, well it just means may God be with you.
@@sneezylasagne8534 - Buddy, you are making so many ignorant assumptions it is ridiculous. I am not offended in the slightest, I just think it's sad that there are people who feel the need to make a point of being rude and condescending to others just because they have different beliefs to them.
You don't know the slightest about me, if you aren't going to bother talking any sense I won't bother replying.
I thought i had a Deja-Vu
Meanwhile in Indonesia...
LOVE YOUR VIDS PLZ MAKE ONE ON MAN U OLE SKOLJAER
did cut something out ???
video footage of him in the match was cutout
@@rejeeshreji91 That was actually just an accident. There was an illustration in the original of the wrong person, so we took it down to edit it for that reason, and I forgot to add back in the live footage.
a man that has a high ranking in fifa is corrupt...in other words the sky is blue!
Just Heard about with Amazon commercial before movies. To be honest way to many cameras on him while in jail to be true 😂😂😂. Thailand would have never let cameras in the prison like this😂😂😂
The idea that sporting federations should be looking after these players human rights is ridiculous. As a global community we need to ask, is it acceptable to extradite people to these backwater shitholes? Should Bahrain have access to Interpol? Should Thailand be obliged to arrest him? We are enabling regimes like this every day, the people that run these countries are thugs, little more than tribal leaders who suddenly became vastly wealthy.
A video on Jose Callejon,who I think is the most underrated player in serie a
I live in bahrain lol
Lock him up.

Yikes.

look down, look down
I only stole a loaf of bread
You changed the video's music... Now it sounds more light hearted... Did you change it coz of Arab death threats.. Coz I wouldn't be surprised.
The guy is a soccer player,,, he probably deserved it
And if you're not a footballer like me you get deported lol
Does Interpol (Australia) have to face any consequences in all this mess?
- They put Red Notice on Hakeem, forcing Thailand to detain him at the immigration.
- Bahrain, who previously asked the Interpol to put on the Red Notice, was notified and sent a letter to Thai government asking for Hakeem to be prosecuted in Bahrian.
- Then the Interpol (Australia) frigging lifted the Red Notice and simply said 'Sorry, my bad, he's a refugee. He can't be put on Red Notice.'
- Now everyone and their saints are bashing Thailand for keeping Hakeem in jail, including frigging Australian government who let him fly out of the country while tagging him a Red Notice in the first place!
Well shit! Now, whatever Thailand decide to do with Hakeem, it will jeopardize their international relationship!
Spoiler alert: He actually did commit crimes
liar
Peaceful protest but with a little bit of Molotov.. keep selling lies
Then those with Molotovs should be sent to prison, those without shouldn't. Also, even if someone brings something much worse than a Molotov, it's still illegal to torture them.
FREE ALL CATALAN POLITICAL PRISONERS
This is no the truth shame on you
What's not true about it
Players are not special, should be locked up if involved in such protests and inciting others to join.
Players are not special, noone should be locked up protesting for basic human rights.
kkg T You should be locked up you disgusting waste of oxygen. Oh wait.. You're a Chelsea fan, not surprising then
Good news for you guys Thailand free him now . He will go back to Aus not for along time .BTW Aus should be ban thailand forever because many thai ppl dont wanna be friend or any relation with trouble maker too Goodbye forever
Stop Sugarcoating your comments and deleting ours. Just like you want to have a say we've got a say too.
Don't know if you had been paid or you don't know the truth about what really happened in Bahrain those players supported the terrorist groups here in Bahrain they have killed a lot of police officers and they say that they are peaceful shame on you
liar
@@Hussain_Albanna الله يهديك الى الحق
انت كاذب و مرتبط بالحكومة
I love how foreigners ONLY give one side of the story. Tifo football stick to tactics. And do not talk about others specially when one of your subs knows the player in question personaly (actually his brother ). Bahrain is a long way from perfect but is no where near the tryanical nation your narrative puts it. Do not believe this shite and fact check yourself the population is divided closer to 55 - 45 in sunni favor this number will vastly increase after naturalization of the syrian refugees alongside the yemeni. Furthermore of the 30 “brutally massacred by the regime” its actually 45 of which 19 where ssfc (police) officers. The riots where violent and complicated your video does not do us any justice.
Lol, sure.
It is unfortunate that almost half of the Syrain and Yemeni get citizenships and Jobs while citizens of the country are not getting Jobs and Shia are not allowed to join the army. We can only hope that the goverment start taking care of the people instead of bringing in mercenaries and filling the country with foreigners. Inshallah things will get better in the Future.
