Unfortunately, it seems that he is not the only individual with problems of this kind. One of my very first jobs involved obtaining visas for Palestinian/Jordanian civil society members to travel to an international anti-corruption conference in Manama, Bahrain. I will never forget the individual who – after days of trying- finally got a permit to use Ben Gurion airport, but only for a few hours and four days prior to the conference. It was only by chance that I actually had his entry visa for Bahrain since I couldn’t cancel his visa application anyways. Determined as he was, he jumped into a taxi, spent three days in the transit zone of the airport until he had a flight and he made it to our conference.<br /><br />Half Europe panicked when we had the volcanic ash cloud in spring, but for others, the skies, rails and roads are still closed for different reasons. <br /><br />I hope at least the video link will work well so that Mr. Jabarin is able to talk about the work of al Haq.Evelynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259937926231656064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605495417463810012.post-63856812252962875042010-11-18T18:50:47.375+00:002010-11-18T18:50:47.375+00:00They are afraid that he might blow himself up at a...They are afraid that he might blow himself up at a Pizza Hut in Galway.mihai martoiu ticuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362590592413694361noreply@blogger.com
