His brother Peter Ricketson admitted he would feel “hesitant” about the 69-year-old returning to Cambodia any time soon.
The family of film-maker James Ricketson have celebrated “a very happy day” after his return to Australia on Sunday night, but admit to feeling “hesitant” about the 69-year-old returning to Cambodia any time soon.
On Monday his family spoke to the media in Sydney, saying Ricketson was “grateful to have his freedom”.
The Australian foreign affairs minister, Marise Payne, said the pardon meant the end of a distressing time for the film-maker and his family.
