Additional Information / Shotlist WALID
Refugee from Iraq, accompanied by his pregnant wife and children.
Interviewed at the «hotspot» on Samos, Greece, 25 March 2016

We need our freedom and our human rights. Can’t they see all these innocent children?!
Are they different from their own children? Don't they deserve a decent life?
Where's that alleged freedom? Is this fair? What wrong have we done to be treated like this?
We fled our city with our children to escape from ISIS. We travelled here to live freely.
I came all this way to save my children.
And my wife is going to give birth in two months.
I can't believe she's going to give birth in this filthy camp! Is this the real democracy and freedom?
Would any Greek or European citizen live here for one day? I bet not.

We just need to be set free. I'll take my family and continue our journey.
We don't care if we die on the way, we just want to be set free.
We fled the slaughtering of ISIS for a good life.
They turned my daughter's school into a training camp.
They occupied the school and turned it into a base for fighters!

And all this rain! Look at how we’re living. God will never forgive them!
