Description of the missing person
Ali was forty-nine years old and had five children. He enjoyed going out with his family at night. Ali worked as a driver and he wanted his children to obtain the highest possible levels of education.
Circumstances of the Disappearance
Ali went to the eastern suburb of Beirut to pick up materials for stores owned by his employer. He had money with him to pay for the goods. He was stopped at a checkpoint, where he was robbed of his money and truck and abducted.
Ali’s family searched for him and even used high-level political bodies to do so. They looked in the prisons and did not find a single trace of him. Afterwards, several members of his family went to identify him among some bodies that were going to be cremated, but due to the bodies’ disfiguration they couldn’t recognize anything except for a lock of hair that they believed belonged to Ali.
