Mohamed, a Muslim-American teenager states that he was prevented from boarding a US flight and was placed on the "no fly list" in Kuwait. He also claims that he was kidnapped by Kuwaiti authorities and tortured while waiting to come back to the US. He is now suing the US government by claiming that as a naturalized citizen, he had every right to be in the states, and that the government has not provided any reason for why he was put on the "no fly list". Moreover, "According to the lawsuit, Mohamed says he was approached at the airport by two men who handcuffed and blindfolded him. They drove him to another location in an SUV. Mohamed claims he was beaten, tortured and interrogated over the next week. The lawsuit describes him being whipped, threatened with electrocution and questioned by captors who had private information about his family in the United States ."
