sami was closely monitored in germany before he was deported to tunisia and german authorities suspected him of having been the bodyguard of a close confidant of asama bin laden last week following months of investigations he was repatriated from a german prison to tunisia his lawyer there make serious accusations against german authorities. in germany he was subjected to insult and mistreatment he was prevented from contacting his lawyer his family and a doctor they kept him naked for a while everything that happened to him was done outside the bounds of the laws in germany he was not respected as a human being neither he nor his family five of whom all german passports. germany's interior minister disagrees however the court responsible for the case bar the suspects deportation at first it called for a written guarantee that sami would not be under threat of torture in tunisia. but by then he was already on board the plane from dusseldorf to tunis. and. how does it look with the tunisian government it regards itself as a country under the rule of law and it is not always easy to demand

you might think at first appearance that it is an open and shut case sami had been considered by the intelligence authorities to be a potential threat and therefore he had also been detained for some weeks and in fact german authorities both local and federal had been seeking his deportation for years now but the case got caught up in the courts because there was no finding by federal authorities or by the local administrative court that sami would not be subject to torture if he were in fact deported to tunisia and the court underlined the fact that absolutely everyone is entitled to the protection of rule of law in germany even if they are considered a potential terrorist threat and that such a finding would have to be made because the protecting people from the risk of torture is a very very high value a high principle under the german legal system so in fact he has now been deported not least because this case did taint notoriety the german interior minister said that he would personally get involved in trying to ensuring that the deportation did move forward but interestingly en

sami is editor in chief international interest that's an online news service he says the white helmets could serve as key witnesses of the crimes committed by the syrian regime. russia and the assad regime in particular they resent the white helmets with a particular venom mainly because they have been in key instrumental part in the p.r. campaign against the assad regime and against russia in bringing to light some of the atrocities that have happened in this war we've heard stories in the past of assassination attempts on white helmets on targeted bombings against places where you find volunteers from the white helmets so i think with regard to the evacuation it may well be that this is outside a u.s. russia repression and perhaps more of keeping a wild card in the event that syria becomes and it looks on course to become a more russian allied state than a us state i would think that the assad regime in particular would not particularly be happy with the white helmets being evacuated i think with regards to the excuse that they were being surrounded they were being blockaded by the a
