After the publication of the ‘Afghan Files’, I went to Spain for one last attempt to get publicity for the case. While was there the AFP raided my house and it was clear I would soon be arrested. Sarah and the girls came to join me in Spain for one last holiday. 
We travelled to the Sahara desert on the Moroccan-Algerian border, and rode the camel train into the dunes. To get there we had to travel for many long days on ferries, trains, and mini-buses, sometimes all night, but they never complained.
They knew there was a warrant for my arrest, and that I may be in gaol for a long time, maybe life. Occasionally we would cry together, but they never doubted I was doing the right thing. I have never loved them so much.
