Because all the French and foreign press, after announcing my death by hanging, told unbelievable things about me.
Because, as a result of certain coincidences and in a total misunderstanding of my actions, the General Security and the Intelligence Service of Syria have built up an abominable file on me which has ruined me morally and financially and of which I cannot obtain communication, but which many of my relations in Paris, and even the Basque deputy of the Basses-Pyrénées, boast of having seen at the Foreign Affairs, thus peddling the most slanderous rumors about me.
