Monia Mazigh tells of how her husband was kidnapped at JFK airport by US officials and sent to Syria to be tortured, as part of the US “extraordinary rendition” program. This is a remarkable story of personal courage, and of an extraordinary woman who lets us into her life so that others can understand the denial of rights and the discarding of human rights her family suffered.
