«It’s
the middle of the night. You’re crowded in a dinghy with 41 others,
many fleeing the horrors of conflict in Syria. You abandoned your home
in Afghanistan after a bomb killed your parents and left you, a
teenager, with five young children to care for.
You're
leaving Turkey and heading for the distant lights of a Greek island, to
seek sanctuary in Europe. But then the Greek police find you. They beat
and rob you and your fellow passengers, slash the dinghy with a knife,
take the motor, push you back in the direction of Turkey – and leave you
at sea.
