Claiming Land with Muslim Graves

Question
A person had two dunams of his land taken for the benefit of a cemetery in an Islamic country forty years ago, and he is not from this country, and the land was taken without his knowledge. Is he now entitled to claim it back after the land has filled with graves of Muslims?
Answer

I say, and with God's help: It is his land, and he has the right to claim it if the law permits, and God knows best.
