Naji Mansour’s life was turned upside down when he refused to become an informant for the FBI. After being detained, repeatedly interrogated and ultimately forced into exile and separated from his children for years, he began recording his telephone conversations with bureau agents.

Mansour’s story is the focus of a new article in Mother Jones magazine titled “This American Refused to Become an FBI Informant.
