“I had just completed my masters studies in 2017 during the so called migration crisis. As a European citizen and someone with SAR training I felt I could assist people on the island.”

“I almost died in the sea, that’s why I came here to help people. I don’t accept that I am a smuggler. This case has been going on for over 8 years - I’ve basically lost my life. When I came to Europe, I was not treated well. As refugees, we are not treated well.”
