Who is Peter Qasim?

Peter Qasim was the longest-serving detainee within the Australian immigration detention system, having resided there for over seven years as of 2005. He had not been deported because he was stateless. He was detained at Baxter Immigration Reception and Processing Centre before being transferred to an Adelaide psychiatric ward.

He had applied to over 80 countries for asylum, but had not been accepted. This includes India, which claims sovereignty over Kashmir, from where Qasim originates.
