| When John Zulfiqar, now 37, arrived in Australia he had every reason to believe he was finally safe.
Instead he recently marked his fourth year in mandatory detention, despite being ruled a genuine refugee almost three years ago.
It was April 8, 2010, and the Afghan man – believed to be a member of the persecuted Hazara ethnic minority – arrived in Australia on board Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel 129 Keperra.
That day he was transferred to Christmas Island's main detention centre. From that day, his living nightmare began.
He remains locked up in a detention centre in Melbourne's north despite being classified as a refugee and deemed to need Australia's protection since July 2011.
Questions about his identity appear to have long been resolved. In April 2012 the Australian Federal Police finally abandoned its lingering suspicions that Mr Zulfiqar was a "person of interest'' in people smuggling activities but ASIO is still conducting its painstaking security clearances, which were initiated in 2011.
