Jailed refugee footballer Hakeem al-Araibi could face a lengthy trial if he rejects an extradition request from Bahrain. Authorities say a trial will go ahead that could last six months or more if al-Araibi refuses to return to the Middle Eastern country, which he fled in 2014 after criticising its government. The 25-year-old has been held in Thailand since arriving in Bangkok for his honeymoon on 27 November.
