When he was two years old, his family immigrated to Brazil and settled in the city of An polis near to Brasilia . The 1964 Brazilian coup d tat overthrew the government of Jo o Goulart just as Simaan had begun studying physics at the University of S o Paulo . In response to this, he became a student activist.
