Fikre alleges that he traveled to Sudan in late 2009 in pursuit of growing an electronics business in his native East Africa. The FBI questioned him while in Sudan, according to court filings, telling Fikre he was on the No Fly List and could be removed if he became an informant.

Fikre allegedly refused and moved to the United Arab Emirates, where he claims he was then abducted and tortured for months by the country’s secret police at the FBI’s request. After leaving the United Arab Emirates, Fikre says he moved to Sweden, filed his lawsuit and sought asylum.

        There’ve been stories of people landing on the list for mooning someone. I don’t know about you, but I was 18 once, and it’s a tough age for showing everyone your bum.

          This! The American obsession with infinite punishment is weird. They should just clear out a nice rectangular state, fence it off and call it a prison.
