This story is about Mehdi Ghezali, the precious little snowflake who once was unreasonably sought by Swedish police for several crimes, had the misfortune of being arrested in Portugal, caught as a 30 year old by the evil coalition forces in Pakistan, close to the border near the Tora Bora Mountains, kept in horrible conditions in Guantanamo until the Swedish government secured his release and expunged his record, and now finds himself locked up in Pakistan trying to sneak into the Punjab province through a checkpoint, and now is "suspected for collaboration with the jihadist terror network al Qaida"...
Oh the humanity.
However he claims that the Swedish police were monitoring him when he was in the country, and that made him feel depressed. The "good news" is that he was reportedly planning a class-action lawsuit against the USA, but he "decided to drop the case".
What a magnanimous gesture on his part.
When he is not getting arrested and being pursued for imaginary infractions, this innocent victim demonstrates and calls for the closure of Guantanamo.
