  • Argi has escaped from Kobani in Syria with his family after he was tortured by the regime and feared for his life. Unable to cross the border at Idomeni, he and his wife have found a little space to shelter just outside the doors of what once was an operating lift in the disused Hellenikon airport. This is how I met him when I entered the building hiding from the security. Still walking in crutches, he showed me graphic pictures of the violence inflicted on him. Visibly traumatised with his wife pregnant and children, he has not received any assistance ever since they arrived in Hellenikon over two weeks earlier.

  • The systematic use of force sees the destruction of any evidence first. Refugees explain that upon been stopped by Croatian police at the borders they are immediately asked to give them their phones and money. They destroy their phones or keep them. Then they beat them savagely. Many have reported been exposed to electric batons, smashed bones and beaten on their knees.

  • "They are cold people, the Bulgarian police. Even if you have a short time document pass, they still do the same thing. In the centre of Sofia, not at the border, they take everything from us, they took us to the jungle, the permit,  my money, mobile, they took everything and then they push us back."

  • Accounts point to refugees in Bosnia Hercegovina having experienced widespread atrocious and barbarous violence in the hands of Croatian border police. It seems that one of the most common abuse is to beat refugees on their knees. Many have had their knees smashed. This is photo of a refugee following the aftermath of police violence in which his knees were severely injured. M., Velika Kladusa, Bosnia Hercegovina.

  • Miksaliste aid centre in Belgrade is the city's main support centre where refugees can receive basic medical help, clothes and the first assistance. Many come into the centre exhausted physically and psychologically,  from their horrendoeus journey, anxiety and at times encount of police violence.  I often had to resort to google translate to be able to communicate with refugees. As I asked how was the journey to Belgrade a refugee writes 'Beating'. Belgrade, Serbia
