She meets John Glendinning as he is frantically trying to connect with his brother Brian, who is calling from inside a prison in Baghdad. He had flown there for a new job, and was detained on an Red Notice issued by Qatar. Conditions in the prison are bad, and the signal is bad.
In other cases, Bill Browder explains the eight notices against him from Russia after he exposed a multi million dollar tax fraud within Putin’s government.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
