According to CNN's Becky Anderson, his situation is not "unprecedented" and could become a more common problem for Syrian refugees because many countries will not accept Syrian nationals.[7] BackstoryAl Kontar originally emigrated from Syria to the United Arab Emirates in 2006, to work as an insurance marketing agent.[8] His work permit expired in 2011, the year the Syrian Civil War started. After the Syrian embassy refused to renew his passport, Al Kontar stayed illegally in the UAE fearing he would be drafted into the war on his return. In 2017, he was arrested and deported to Malaysia, one of the countries where Syrians are granted visa-free entry. He attempted to go to Ecuador but, for unexplained reasons, Turkish Airlines staff denied him boarding for his flight nor would they refund his ticket. He then attempted to go to Cambodia but was denied entry[9] and sent back to Kuala Lumpur. As his Malaysian tourist visa had expired,[10] he was not allowed to enter the country and remained stranded at the airport in "legal limbo". There was some discussion of the Malaysian government offering him re-entry into the country but, with no formal offer, Al Kontar was advised not to because he was waiting for an offer for Canada, the United Kingdom, or France (as implied by one of his Twitter posts). Malaysia is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and he claimed that he would not be recognized as a legitimate refugee although there are in fact many Syrian refugees in the country.[11][12] Life at the airportAl Kontar slept in chairs or under a stairwell, showered in a disabled toilet and was fed by some airport staff (mostly from AirAsia) who gave him meals.[13][14] Though his savings dwindled,[15] people offered him money and a woman living in British Columbia started a fundraiser in order to possibly sponsor him to Canada and have enough money to live for at least a year. He has family members in Canada.[16] The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has been trying to provide legal aid.[17] During his 100th day at the airport in June 2018, he decided to apply to join a NASA mission to Mars.[18] Arrest and detentionOn 1 October 2018, he was detained by the police for being in a “forbidden area” of the airport. Malaysia's immigration chief, Mustafar Ali, said they would "communicate with the Syrian embassy to facilitate deportation to his home country."[19] However, Malaysian immigration director-general Mustafar Ali announced that Al Kontar will be sent to a third country as the discussion and arrangement is being processed together with the foreign mission in Malaysia.[20] Asylum in CanadaOn November 26, 2018, Al Kontar landed at Vancouver International Airport as a permanent resident of Canada and is expected to start a job in Whistler, British Columbia.[21][22] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-malaysia-asylum-syria/holding-pattern-syrian-stuck-in-transit-in-kl-for-more-than-a-month-idUSKBN1HJ0U7|title=Holding pattern: Syrian 'stuck in transit' in KL for more than a month|first=Rozanna|last=Latiff|publisher=}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kontar, Hassan}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/12/its-not-my-war-the-syrian-man-who-has-spent-a-month-living-in-kuala-lumpur-airport|title='It's not my war': the Syrian man who has spent a month living in Kuala Lumpur airport|first=Kaamil|last=Ahmed|date=12 April 2018|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|accessdate=2018-07-09|title=This Syrian man has been stuck in an airport for months|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/av/stories-44738942/this-syrian-man-has-been-stuck-in-an-airport-for-months|website=BBC News}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/syrian-man-trapped-in-kuala-lumpur-airport-2018-4|title=A Syrian man has been trapped in an airport in Malaysia for over a month with nowhere to go|publisher=}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-43735717|title=Syrian 'stranded at airport' for 37 days|first=Heather|last=Chen|date=12 April 2018|publisher=|via=www.bbc.com}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://abcnews.go.com/International/syrian-refugee-stuck-malaysia-airport-50-days/story?id=54582248|title=Syrian refugee stuck in Malaysia airport for nearly 50 days|first=A.
