The lawyer for an Australian TV crew detained in Lebanon on suspicion of the attempted abduction of two children embroiled in a Lebanese-Australian custody battle says he expects his clients to be released.
After deliberations with the judge today, lawyer Kamal Abu Zahr smiled at reporters inside the courtroom. "Good," he said, adding that he expects his clients to be released a day later. Details of the deliberations were not clear.
Earlier, the lawyer of the Lebanese father said he expects a deal to be reached only with the mother Sally Faulkner.
Faulkner has been jailed with prominent Australian TV journalist Tara Brown and three-person camera crew on charges relating to the botched abduction. Two Britons and two Lebanese have also been charged.
