HR Violations
Anything in BOLD and BLUE are the Human Rights violations.
Roshan
(Roshan is in a building of interest and is taking photographs with a long-lens digital camera. She turns to tell her story.)
I was born in Iran and lived there for 26 years but because of my Afghanistan origin, I didn't have any rights there. That’s why I felt I had to leave and come to Europe. You see, as Afghans, we don’t have any rights in Iran. (Explaining) As refugees your city is
5 chosen for you - we can't choose which city to live in nor can we travel to other cities - We have to pay for an asylum card every 6 months and keep renewing it after that… (with disbelief) Imagine, I do not have legal citizenship in the country I was born in. Afghans don’t have rights like other people, especially in school and university. I tried to study; I went to university and studied industrial management but after that,
10 I was not allowed to work with my degree. I could only work as a basic worker in a factory or on a farm and it’s degrading... to not be accepted by the people… it is so difficult to be a person and not be accepted when you know who you really are and your own worth... living a life where you are not treated like everyone else and worse, you are not even seen as a human… I have such bad memories from Iran. All I really
15 wanted to do when I finished university was to go back to Afghanistan and work there but because of the war and the Taliban and because I am from Hazara people and we are Shiite, we knew the Taliban would kill us. (Pause, getting emotional) Some weeks ago they attacked a school and they killed 85 girls from the Hazara people… (Pause as she collects herself) We cannot go back to Afghanistan and even if we did
20 they would not accept us because we were born in Iran and we speak differently to them. It’s hard for us as we feel we do not belong anywhere and no one accepts us. Because of all this, my husband and I decided that we had to leave Iran and go to Turkey in search of a better life. When we arrived in Turkey we were arrested by police at the borders. They gave us a paper telling us to leave in 15 days and they put some
25 city on it. We had to go there; the city they chose for us. When we got there they didn’t give us an asylum card or anything, instead, we had to sign every Friday declaring that we were there. Because we were not in a camp we had to pay for everything ourselves. (Emphatically) We wanted to work but we didn’t have any documents or asylum card so we had to work illegally to pay for rent, food and for
30 everything else. We tried to live in Turkey for 8 months but like in Iran we could not choose to move to other cities. We could only live in the city they chose for us, Samsun, and we found it was just too difficult to live there... and because of my journey, I needed medical help... I was very sick, mentally and physically. I needed a doctor but I could not go to one because we didn’t have any money or insurance... The doctor in Turkey is so expensive.
35 So we decided to continue our journey and come to Greece. But when we arrived in Greece, the camp authorities separated us… me and my husband. I was so scared to not be with him... in this new country. It was because we did not have a valid marriage document. You see, as Afghans, our marriage was not recognized by the Iranian authorities and so we had no official documentation. It was like our marriage never
40 existed. When we arrived at the Moria refugee camp, they quarantined us all in a big tent and we couldn't go outside. We were given basic information about the asylum system and services and then we were allowed to go outside to our tents. But they still kept my husband and me apart - they gave a tent to my husband to share with another single man and they kept me in a large tent with other people, with single
45 men and some families... another two families came after us then... There were so many of us. They kept me there for 10 days and I could not go outside… This tent was like a prison for me and I had to stay there with so many other people and many single men. It was so difficult for me… I did not sleep for any of those 10 days. When I wanted to go to the bathroom I would go with the family when they needed to go. I
50 went with them so I would not be alone going there nor be left alone in the tent. Iwas always afraid... It was so bad. After 10 days they took me to “Section”. This area was for single women and single boys over 18. AB C D-A B for boys and C E D for single men, single women, and single mothers with children. My husband and I still remained separated. I asked many times if I could live with my husband but they told
55 me cruelly, “If you do want to go outside to him you can live with him and the other men. ”We stayed there for 5 months and during that time I was very depressed and sick and I did not go outside of the tent even to see my husband. Actually, for 2 months I don't think I even left my bed or went outside even once. And the conditions in the camp were so bad. (Pause as the memory comes) I remember late one night being
60 very very ill and I needed a doctor... I was struggling to breathe. I went to security and they brought a doctor but they could not check my blood pressure so I had to go to the hospital in an ambulance. They let me stay in the hospital for one night but after that they left me alone and said, (firmly) “You can go back to Moria”. You see, I did not have any money because when I was leaving the camp I could not breathe and I
65 forgot to take some with me. I had left in the ambulance with just my clothes. So because I had no money to stay in the hospital, they turned me away, “You can go back to Moria”. I had no way back to the camp. I stayed at the bus station and finally, after asking some people for help, I was able to get back... (half-smiles) I will never forget their kindness. After 2 months I was a little better and I started to be more
70 interested in things. I was able to learn some Greek and English and I started to go to workshops and learn about photography. And I found I liked it... I really like photography... It helps me escape… Eventually, they allowed us to move to Athens and that's where I am now.
75 still separated and now he lives in a hostel because for 4 or 5 months he had been sleeping in the street. We still do not have any money. I long for the day when we can live as the married couple that we are. I am grateful I have found a passion for film and photography and I try to learn more about it here in Athens. I like Greece and the people and I do my best to try and live here but I do not get any support from the
80 government. I tried to do my interview here to get my document for asylum, but they have still not responded to my application. I need this document to help me continue my university education but so far I am not getting the support. (Determined) Because of this, I want to go to another country to continue my studies because I do not want to live without purpose. I want to be of benefit… to a country that accepts
85 me, that lets me be me.
