This Man Spent 18 Years At An Airport For Strange Reason Stuck Between Borders This is the puzzling story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, a refugee who had no home, nowhere to go and nowhere to stay. While this may seem like an average story of an unfortunate homeless man, that’s far from the truth. Nasseri simply wanted to seek shelter, but bureaucracy got in his way.

0:39
Paris on August 26
0:41
1988 and was set on transferring to a
0:44
flight headed to the United Kingdom but
0:47
when he arrived in London he was forced
0:49
to return to Paris and had to stay at
0:51
the terminal which he couldn't legally
0:53
leave either days weeks months and years
0:56
went by and he seemed less and less like
0:58
a regular passenger and more like a
1:01
permanent resident
1:02
while some elements of his story remain
1:04
hazy there's no denying the fact that he
1:07
had no choice but to make the airport
1:09
terminal his own
1:10
the Siri was born in mashed Solomon
1:13
Aaron in 1943 his father was a doctor
1:16
while his mother was reportedly a nurse
1:19
from Scotland an ambitious scholar he
1:21
traveled to the United Kingdom and began
1:24
his academic studies at the University
1:25
of Bradford in 1973.
1:28
he participated in the protest against
1:30
Muhammad rizasha who ended up being
1:33
overthrown by the Iranian Revolution in
1:36
1979.
1:38
he claimed that because of his political
1:40
activism he was expelled from his home
1:42
country Iran but whatever the truth was
1:45
he ended up facing an unexpected
1:47
difficulty when he tried to return to
1:49
the United Kingdom and seek British
1:51
citizenship His official Refugee status
1:54
would have allowed him to do so but
1:56
complications along the way barred his
1:58
entry altogether
1:59
he attempted to travel to London in 1988
2:02
to finally find a home and become a
2:05
British citizen
2:06
and route through Paris however all of
2:09
his legal documents were lost nasserie
2:11
had a hard time recalling how everything
2:14
happened but he remembered a briefcase
2:17
that was allegedly stolen from him
2:18
containing all his paperwork he ended up
2:21
arriving in London but was turned away
2:23
by local authorities because he couldn't
2:25
present his passport
2:26
he had to take a flight back to Paris
2:28
where he was arrested for the same
2:30
reason
2:31
his entry turned out to be legal at the
2:33
time but he was unable to leave the
2:35
terminal the airport serves as a border
2:38
between countries therefore without
2:40
legal documents he had no choice but to
2:42
stay at this point he realized that he
2:45
might have to stay there for a long time
2:47
without any outside help he had no way
2:50
of sorting out his documents and he was
2:52
essentially trapped in the terminal
2:54
building surrounded by his luggage and
2:56
belongings the sarri waited days weeks
2:59
until he grasped the severity of his
3:00
situation
3:02
he tried to make the most of his
3:03
situation and spent his day studying and
3:06
writing his journal that ended up being
3:08
over 1 000 pages long
3:10
thankfully he had no shortage of food or
3:12
cigarettes as the airport staff felt
3:15
responsible to help him out he was
3:17
partial to fast food eating regularly at
3:20
the local next to Donald's he also kept
3:22
up with the world's events by reading
3:24
newspapers and was able to stay groomed
3:26
by washing himself in the men's restroom
3:28
eventually the media picked up on his
3:31
story and he was flocked by journalists
3:33
with the attention of the public copen
3:35
gain his legal documents back his
3:37
hardship touched many people including
3:40
civilians who wrote encouraging messages
3:41
and letters of Goodwill to him
3:43
at some point he even received a
3:46
donation of 100 from Dr Philip Barkin he
3:49
was the chief medical officer of Charles
3:51
de Gaulle Airport at the time and he
3:53
felt compelled to help Mastery it was
3:56
only a matter of time until his case
3:58
caught the attention of civil law and
4:00
the first person to respond was French
4:02
human rights lawyer Christian Bourget
4:05
Bourget was dedicated to resolving
4:07
nasserie's problem it became clear that
4:10
Belgium needed to issue new documents so
4:12
that the unfortunate Refugee could have
4:14
a legal nationality again the problem
4:17
was that this could only be achieved by
4:19
nasseri traveling there in person which
4:21
he couldn't do without said documents
4:24
this seemed impossible to solve at the
4:26
time
4:27
due to the special nature of this
4:28
situation the government of Belgium
4:30
decided to send him his new legal
4:32
documents via mail in 1999 and he was
4:36
able to gain a residence permit in
4:37
France but nasiri refused to acknowledge
4:40
this for some reason
4:42
this will ordeal took a toll on his
4:44
mental health apparently but he was also
4:46
displeased with the name displayed on
4:48
his new documents they stated that he is
4:51
an Iranian Citizen and his original name
4:53
Miron Karimi nasiri he preferred the
4:57
name issued by the British government
4:58
sir Alfred Moran and wanted British
5:01
citizenship still
5:03
borgut his lawyer was unhappy with this
5:06
turn of events to say the least he spent
5:09
10 long years trying to help him but
5:11
nassery ended up staying at the terminal
5:13
at this point asari seemed too far gone
5:16
he could have just changed his name and
5:18
nationality later but he lived in his
5:21
own mind his own world and the airport
5:23
seemed like a safe haven to him he had a
5:26
harder and harder time recollecting the
5:28
events of his life as they happened
5:30
often telling strange stories and false
5:33
facts about himself
5:35
he once said that he originally intended
5:37
to travel to Sweden and was actually a
5:39
Swedish citizen he finally left Charles
5:42
de Gaulle Airport in 2006 but only
5:45
because he fell ill he was transported
5:48
to a hospital and was eventually
5:49
released in 2007 by which point he was
5:52
granted citizenship in France he stayed
5:55
at a hotel near the airport for a few
5:57
months after which he was moved to a
5:59
shelter in Paris through Emma's an
6:01
international charity organization
6:04
his life inspired many documentaries
6:06
including the movie called The Terminal
6:08
in 2004 star and Tom Hanks
