Australian documents relating to the extradition trial of Neil Prakash have reportedly arrived at a Turkish court where the Australian jihadist has made a brief appearance.

During his appearance in court in Kilis, Prakash denied having any connection to Islamic State in Australia, Fairfax media reports.

Prakash is accused of being a top Isis recruiter and is being held in Turkey on terrorism-related charges after being arrested trying to cross the border from Syria on false documents in October last year.



Australia has formally sought his extradition but under international protocols, Turkey has the right to deal with him first.

Also known as Abu Khaled al-Cambodi, Prakash left Australia for Syria via Malaysia in 2013. He has featured in a number of Islamic State propaganda videos calling for attacks on Australia and the United States.

Prakash will remain behind bars until his next hearing on 23 February when a verdict must be reached, Fairfax reports.

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has been contacted for comment.
