Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) Hakeem Al-Araibi, the refugee soccer player who is fighting extradition from Thailand, will remain in jail for a further 60-days as he prepares a defense against Bahrain's extradition request. "Don't send me to Bahrain," he shouted to reporters as he was led into the courtroom flanked by several guards. Al-Araibi, who fled Bahrain in 2014, was detained and held in Thailand in November at the request of the Bahrain government. They have until April 5 to file the written objection and both sides will present their evidence in court on April 22. Sydney FC fans display a sign in support for Hakeem al-Araibi during a match between Sydney FC and the Newcastle Jets.
