Wani didn't leave

Wani has been in the Lebanese prison system for over a year. In that time, I visited him in three different prisons--Roumieh, Batroun, and Adlieh. Last month, after negotiations with the UNHCR, the IOM, and the Swedish government, his resettlement had been fixed. He went to the airport ready to make his new life in Sweden, and then the General Security stopped him. I still don't know why. He's been in Lebanon, out of jail, thank God, staying at friend's places. It's like nothing is working out.
