The video characters playing Yusuf (the Arabic young man depicted in the short) and "our two children" (who never happened) were AI generated by the Grok app.
Yusuf and I planned to adopt two orphans after we got married and settled our lives. It did not come to pass, six months before our scheduled marriage date; Yusuf was refouled by a EU/Schengen zone entity to a country he was not from. Said country was embroiled in civil conflict and Yusuf was killed in the violence while trying to return to his native land.

"Enshrined in Article 33 of the 1951 Refugee Convention and reaffirmed in multiple subsequent declarations, non-refoulement prohibits any state from returning a person “to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened.” It is absolute and applies regardless of nationality, status or political expediency."
My fiancee Yusuf was murdered as a direct result of refoulement carried out by the Swedish Border Police in October 2013. Yusuf migrated to Europe via Spain and France to Sweden in 2011. He was fleeing persecution as a result of involvement with Arab Spring related protests. In autumn 2013, he was forcibly refouled to Tchad (Tašād) by the Swedish Border Police, a country he did not come from (from the detention center at Kållered he emailed me that he was hoping to be sent back to Spain because he entered the Schengen Zone there. That was the last communication I had from him). At the time he was refouled to Tchad (Tašād) the country was in the midst of civil conflict derived from the aftermath of the 2011 fall of Muammar al-Gaddafi in Lybia. Tchad (Tašād) had been a Lybian protectorate before 2011 and after the fall of Muammar al-Gaddafi the country imploded into violence. After Yusuf was deported there in 2013, he attempted to leave Tchad via Sudan and then Egypt; as he was nearing the border he was set upon a group of armed men and killed. Yusuf and I were planning to get married in March of 2014 at Lövnäskyrkan in Hammarö. He was detained by the Swedish Border Police in September 2013 and refouled in October 2013. Someone found an address book on his person and was kind enough to email his sister in Rabat about what happened. She emailed me to tell me about his fate in January 2014.
Yusuf was effectively handed a death penalty sentence at the age of 28 for having applied for asylum in Sweden. He was not alone in this regard, hundreds are refouled to countries they did not come by Sweden on a regular basis....many end up tortured or killed.
