Anwar wins his freedom!
“Anwar” grew up in a marginalized Palestinian community in the Middle East. When many of his core beliefs did not align with those of his conservative community, he endured horrific torture by neighborhood vigilante groups. His mistreatment resulted in hearing loss and the inability to use one of his hands.
Against all odds, he was able to flee to the US, where he was placed in an immigrant detention center. A CIJF-funded attorney took up his case, and he recently won asylum.
Today, Anwar has started a new life in the United States.
