 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Former Guantanamo Bay inmate Mamdouh Habib says he's no enemy of democracy. To prove it, he's standing for election at home in Australia.
On Saturday, Habib will contest the district of Auburn, a predominantly Muslim suburb of Sydney, in elections for the parliament of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state.
He says he is undeterred by polls that give him little chance of success, and insists he will run for a federal parliament seat this year if his state bid fails.
