Joke Becomes Reality! Lebanese Caught Hiding in Suitcase at Turkish-Greek Border
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A Lebanese man turned the joke of climbing into somebody's suitcase a reality when he hid in the luggage of a German to cross the Turkish border into Greece.
Turkish customs officers at the Pazarkule Customs Gate ordered the German man to open his suitcase when they became suspicious over its enormous size.
When they unzipped the luggage, the officers found the 20-year-old Lebanese identified by his initials as A.J curled up inside in a fetal position.
He even had a pillow and blanket and a small supply of snacks stashed inside.
The Lebanese man was sent to the foreigners' department of the Edirne Security Directorate prior to deportation while police took the German into custody on charges of smuggling migrants.
The footage has been uploaded to the internet.

Let the syrian dictator control syria and keep busy with his killings instead of commenting about lebanon and trying to control us.

A reminder that many Lebanese are in Lebanon against their will. Our passport is worthless, it doesn't allow us to travel to the civilized world. For this, we must thank Hezbollah terrorists for bombing the French and Americans on our soil in the early 80s.

You are a total idiot. Finish your education and learn reading properly. The guy wanted to enter the EU via the Turkish border. Yes, the actions of the Shia terrorists condemned most Lebanese to stay within the arab world. Try getting a visa to the US or France if you can. Yes, the actions of Hezbollah screwed up 4 million people.

Ya zakzak, the kid was trying to get into Greece - i.e., Europe proper - not Turkey. And though with enough money yes, even Lebanese are able to travel around the world without difficulty AS TOURISTS ON A TEMPORARY ALLOWANCE IN THE COUNTRY, most are not able to leave the 2araf of what Lebanon has become for good. And lashù nba33ed and speak of '82? A Lebanese Shiite was one of the people involved in the 2007 terrorist attempt on Glasgow airport; since that time the Border Control Office has become severely prejudiced against letting Lebanese into the UK (and against Lebanese already there). Welcome to the real world, "mate". Your Hizb that you're defending is, when all the cosmetics and PR is removed, a bunch of assassins and thugs that, notwithstanding the fact that they may have once upon a time - ken ya ma ken - been a legitimate "resistance movement", now are only that which everybody calls them: terrorists.

This story is sad because it's true. +1 benzoni for seeing the bigger picture. I'm not surprised other can't realize the extent of the damage caused by Hizballa and co.

Who gave the french and americans permission to be militarly present on our soil? Are lebanese soldiers allowed to occupy their sea and soil? Are they allowed to have checkpoints there? Your a traitor who want the entire world to occupy us as long as they arent iran or syria, only then it becomes wrong. People like you can never defeat hezballah. And im not even a fan of them.

Watch your vocabulary... it's extremely aggressive and unfriendly. --> Occupy, traitor, defeat. That's the main difference, you want to resort to violence to solve problems. We don't want to fight the Hezb, hence we don't want to defeat them. We want them to surrender their weapons to the army and continue their mission only through political means.

Don't make a political issue out of it. He was running away with his boyfriend. He's only 20 yrs old.

if you are from finland you can travel in more than 100 countries without a visa, if you are lebanese only 27... the image of lebanon is disastrous abroad so ask yourselves why esp. those praising hezbolla....

and if you were Palestinian...not even your neighbouring Arab countries accept you with a VISITOR'S VISA! so before you start bitching about your Lebanese passports...consider that there are people worse off than you!

Lol we know that there are people worse off than us (like the Palestinians), but our passports still suck.
