He did his undergraduate studies at Lebanese University in Beirut\, and received his Ph.D. in sociology at Syracuse University in New York. He has taught in many universities in the Middle East and North America.  He was teaching at Ottawa U and Carleton U when he was arrested in 2008 and spent the following decade either under house arrest or in Canadian and French jails. He was finally released from France’s largest jail in 2018.  Since that time he has been fighting for two things: a transparent public inquiry to what happened to him so it doesn’t happen to others; and a significant and meaningful change in the “lousy” Canadian Extradition Act.
