Syrian national Hassan al-Kontar talks about the months he was stranded in Kuala Lumpur International airport. He was stopped from boarding a flight to Ecuador and then refused permission to re-enter Malaysia. He remained in this limbo until he was granted entry to Canada, from where he recounts his story to Julian Worricker.
