Seeking Justice for Amer Fakhoury, an American kidnapped and held hostage by the Lebanese Security

Upon arrival at the Beirut airport, Lebanese officials kept Mr. Amer Fakhoury U.S. passport as part of a routine procedure he was told for former Lebanese nationals who had not been in the country for more than 20 years. Accompanied by his wife and two of his four daughters, Amer, a New Hampshire businessman who was returning to his ancestral homeland for a family vacation, perhaps thought nothing of it at the time. Little did he and his family know at the time what would transpire a few days later. 
On this podcast, two of his four daughters, Guila and Zoya, share this remarkable story about their father, a freedom-loving Catholic and soldier. He fought for a democratic Lebanon free of terrorists, such as Hezbollah. Amer's story started decades before, in Southern Lebanon, where Amer defended his homeland from terrorists who have since taken over his ancestral homeland. Forced to leave and start his life in America with his family, they lived the American dream that became a nightmare on September 12, 2019.
Determined to hold the perpetrators to account and help other American families going through similar struggles, the Amer Fakhoury Foundation provides advocacy, emotional, and financial support to the victims and their families. In addition, the Foundation works to ensure anti-torture laws are created and implemented in countries that enforce torture on helpless victims.
