Scandal: Australian police uses tear gas against women and children defending Novak

We are watching scandalous scenes this evening local time taking place in Melbourne, after the decision was made the Federal and Family Cour to release Novak Djokovic from migration detention.

Namely, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Migration indicated that it might use its discretionary right to annul Novak's visa once again, after which the police arrived at Djokovic's lawyers' office. It has not yet been confirmed whether this will actually happen.
