This has been one of the most frustrating abandonment cases I have worked on, because the situation has been so desperate for Mohammad for so long, said International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) Arab World and Iran network coordinator Mohamed Arrachedi. It has to be said that the suffering caused to Mohammad could have been perfectly avoided if the shipowner and the other parties with obligations to him and the ship did the right thing from the start. So much has changed in the last four years. Mohamed’s home in Syria could be unrecognisable. Some of his family died years ago. The delays mean he will never see his mother again, and that is terribly sad.
