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.
At night we would lie and look up at the ⭐️ , wondering what the future would bring. I talked over what I should do and we all agreed it was right to go and face trial. We don’t run we would say. We fight. We didn’t know how we would do it then, but now we know.
Each day I grow more confident, and more grateful for the incredible support we receive each day. I have never recoiled from my actions. I face my accusers with my head held high. Not many of them do the same. Thanks Sarah, the girls and one and all of our supporters. 👊🙏❤️🐪🏜
