Basic Information

While living in Iraq, Sami's wife, Amira, was once falsely accused and arrested for harboring an enemy of the state. The Republican Guard held her for three months, questioning and torturing her until she confessed to a crime she didn't commit. The man responsible for torturing her was Sayid Jarrah.

After Amira was released, Sami took her and moved to Paris, where he opened an Arabian restaurant. His wife was emotionally scarred by her ordeal, so much so that she was too afraid to leave the apartment. As time went by, things settled down and they became accustomed to life in Paris.

Several years later, the passed another Arabian restaurant in Paris and Amira recognized the cheff as the torturer from her past. Sami was determined to get justice and devised a plan to get hold of Sayid. He went to have lunch at the restaurant and asked to speak with the cheff. He complimented Sayid's cooking and told him that he has a restaurant of his own. He offered Sayid a job, claiming that his own cheff had just quit. Sayid agreed to go and see Sami's restaurant.

That night, Sayid arrived to meet Sami. Amira came into the room and Sami introduced her and then had his men grab Sayid and beat him down. They tied him up and locked him in a store room. Sami told Sayid that he knew he was a torturer and that Amira was one of his victims. Sayid confessed to have been in the Republican Guard, but denied having ever seen Amira before. Sami told Sayid that if he didn't start telling the truth, he would kill him.

The following day, Sami brought Amira in to watch as he beat Sayid. Sayid kept denying everything and just as Sami was about to beat him with a metal pipe, Amira stopeed him and said that it was enough for the day. Later, Sami gave Amira a chance to speak with Sayid alone, and she came back telling him that she had made a terrrible mistake and that Sayid was the wrong man. Sami never knew that Sayid had actually confessed to Amira and that she decided to forgive him and let him go instead of allowing Sami to kill him.
