Allon explained to Zaman al-Wasl that the Turkish security had indeed put him with 7 other Syrians on a coach with a-50-year old woman who was detained after returning from a visit to her son in Sudan because she before entered illegally to Turkey via Bab-Alhawa.
Allon confirmed that Turkish Authority had seized his passport, while the treatment of Airport security improved after Zaman al-Wasl had published his story.
Siraj Eddin was detained in Ataturk airport in Istanbul after he was kept moving between Istanbul and Nouakchott for 13 times because of his forged passport.
Siraj considered his return to Syria whatever risk he would be under, would be better than the situation he was in.
