Tirunsh packed her bag ready

On her return trip from Lebanon to Ethiopia.


She left Beirut airport last month, after four years of trying to complete the legal procedures necessary for her travel.

Terunc does not know the charge that was brought against her, but she says that she suffered starvation and torture in the house of a Lebanese family she was working for, so she fled.
