An Australian professor who was detained and allegedly tortured in Qatar has separately been named by a Sri Lankan government probe into the deadly Easter Sunday terror bombings.
Australian citizens Lukman Thalib, 58, and his son Ismail Talib, 24, were arrested at their home in Qatar on 27 July and imprisoned for almost six months without charge before being released without warning in January this year.
No reason has even been given for the arrest of Professor Thalib and his son. Neither Professor Thalib or his son were formally charged by Qatari authorities.
In February, a Sri Lankan government inquiry finalised its report into the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks, a series of suicide bombings that killed more than 250 people in Colombo.

Lukman Thalib, 58, and Ismail Talib, 24, were detained at their home in Qatar on 27 July by a group of plain clothes officers, Professor Thalib s daughter Maryam Talib told SBS News last month.
London-based advocacy group CAGE, which was supporting the family, said they believe the arrests were linked to allegations surrounding another of Professor Thalib s sons.
But on Friday, CAGE said the pair had arrived safely arrived in Turkey, where Ms Talib lives, after being released from the detention centre last week. It is still unclear why the men were arrested and the reason for their sudden release.
