Don't worry, he's an Australian citizen and even our government won't lift a finger to help him. They have fed him to the wolves.

According to WikPedia, U.S. considers him an enemy. That explains why India ignored his request for asylum. Also, it seems like he was wanted on rape charges. That is not good either.

Trumped up charges. He had consensual sex with these women, its only 'rape' because he didn't use a condom.

Hopefully as long as it takes. He can't go anywhere because even if a country is willing to provide him with asylum, he is unable to leave his current residence.
