Mr Kattoura was arrested by Jordan security forces on 2 November 2006 and has been detained at an unknown detention centre since then.

However, on his way back to Lebanon via the Queen Alia International Airport at Amman he was arrested and detained after he had finished all security checks for departure.

They were being forcibly returned from Almaty to Urumqi by Kazakh authorities on 10 May 2006 following a decision by the Specialized Administrative Court of Almaty for violation of rules of stay in Kazakstan. Now By letter dated 18/01/06, the Government reported that the allegations are false as there is no record showing that the two men had been arrested for the violations of either the penal, disciplinary or administrative codes. They do not have documented files indicating they pose a security concern, eliminating the possibility of their arrest for what may be described as “terrorism”.
