SYDNEY, Australia -- 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.
