ACTIVISTS trying to bring home accused terrorist David Hicks will put up billboards near the homes of Prime Minister John Howard, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and Attorney-General Philip Ruddock.
Online social action website GetUp said Mr Downer had refused to accept a petition signed by 50,000 people asking for the Guantanamo Bay detainee to be released.
The Australian-born Muslim convert has been held at the US naval base in Cuba since soon after he was captured fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan five years ago.

"Right now we are working with the best media buyers in the country to book strategic, highly prominent billboards where Alexander Downer, Philip Ruddock and John Howard can't ignore you - on the roads between where they live and work."
