⚫️In August 2021, Homayoun Sabetara, an Iranian asylum seeker, was arrested by Greek police in Thessaloniki after crossing the Greek-Turkish border. He had been driving a vehicle carrying 7 others, after spending 4 days without food or water.
⚫️His story is not an isolated incident, but part of a larger pattern of systemic injustice against people on the move across Europe.
⚫️Safe and legal pathways should be available. No one should be treated as a criminal for seeking safety or a better life.
