Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja’s brother has been released from prison after four years behind bars for making false terrorist threats when he became jealous of another man.
Arsalan Tariq Khawaja admitted to falsifying notes in the notebook of his UNSW colleague Kamer Nizamdeen in August 2018, after he was jealous of his contact with his mutual girlfriend Shakeela Shahid.
Entries included death threats against then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the Governor General, as well as lists to attack police stations, an Anzac Day ceremony, the Boxing Day Test match and monuments including St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney.
Khawaja is now living back on probation in western Sydney after two applications were previously rejected. He seeks treatment for his borderline personality disorder.

In 2018, Mr Nizamdeen was charged with terror crimes and spent four weeks in the infamous Goulburn Supermax Prison where many of Australia’s most notorious and dangerous criminals are held.
The case was eventually dismissed, before Khawaja pleaded guilty to obstructing the court.
He was sentenced to four and a half years behind bars with a two-and-a-half year non-parole period.
Khawaja also admitted that in 2017 he called authorities about another innocent man he was jealous of and made allegations about visas and terrorism, including that the man had trained abroad.
In the conversation, he mentioned his famous brother as a possible target of the man.

Khawaja was eligible for parole in June 2021, but former Attorney General Michaelia Cash turned down two bids for his parole.
He then launched legal action against Ms. Cash in federal court for saying she failed to consider his borderline personality disorder.
The condition had not been diagnosed when he first wrote the false terror threats in Mr Nizadeem’s notebook.

In April of this year, Judge Tom Thawley agreed with Khawaja’s lawyers and referred the case back to Ms. Cash.
The former Attorney General has approved his parole and he now lives back in western Sydney, the Daily Telegraph reported.
It is believed that Khawaja’s mental health is improving outside the prison, where he was not receiving proper care for his condition.
