==Background==

Zemiri arrived in Canada in 1994, where he applied for refugee status. His application was rejected on National Security grounds in 1996. Nevertheless, he married a Canadian woman, Karina Dereshteanu. After his refugee claim was turned down Zemiri should have been deported, but he and Dereshteanu lived in Canada until July 2001, when they moved to Afghanistan.

Dereshteanu, was able to flee Afghanistan in November 2001, around the time of invasion. Zemiri was captured.

Dereshteanu filed an affadavit with a US court where she attested that, to the best of her knowledge, her husband had no ties to terrorism. She reports that bounty hunters sold her husband to United States forces of $5,000 USD.
