In 2001, Fazil Zakir was arrested and tortured in Kabul,
Afghanistan. His uncle was a member of an illegal
party and Fazil’s captors used the situation to blackmail
him for money. (1) . Fazil had borrowed money
from friends and relatives and in Pakistan he made
contact with a human trafficker who promised to
smuggle him to a country where he could seek asylum.
Price: $8,000. ‘There was no hope in my country,’ says
Fazil. (2) .
Months of travelling followed – on horseback, on foot,
hidden in container ships and in the backs of lorries –
from Pakistan, to Iran, Turkey and across Europe. Fazil was
often cold, hungry and very frightened. The final leg of his
journey took him through the Channel Tunnel from France
to Britain. (3) .
Fazil claimed asylum in the UK and after two
long and difficult years living in a detention centre,
his claim was successful. (4) . His children are
in school and further education and Fazil says that
for the first time in years he has hope for the future –
both the future of his family and his home country.
(5) . For every happy ending, there are
thousands more asylum seekers whose claims are
rejected or who live for years in limbo waiting for
their claims to be processed
