THE father of Australian alleged Taliban fighter David Hicks shut himself in a wire cage on a New York street today to highlight his son's plight.
"I wouldn't even keep a dog like this," Terry Hicks said, referring to his son's incarceration for the past 19 months at the US military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
"I have a dire need to speak to David eye-to-eye. My main worry is his mental state," Mr Hicks said.
David Hicks, from Adelaide, has been held without charge or access to legal counsel and faces trial by a special military tribunal.
