Since 2016, the Balkan valid route as closed. But still refugees are dying to overcome the limits to – such as Ihsanudin Gull Muhammad.
Ihsanudin Gull Muhammad dies in may 2018. His body is found in the river Korana. The river marks the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU country Croatia. Rasim Ruždić lives in the vicinity of the Korana. He has an SUV with a trailer, so the police ask him to help in the recovery of the dead body in the rugged terrain:
“I’ve turned the car and we then placed the body in the trailer. I have kept him on the hands. His skin had peeled, and he was safe for several days in the water.”
Ihsanudin Gull Mohammad wears on the body, a gray T-Shirt, a pair of Jeans, a Pair of sneakers, a Bosnian Mark, and 30 cents in cash, a hair tie and a sapphire blue prayer beads. As Rasim Ruždić puts his body in the trailer, keeps clutching Ihsanudins left Hand to his prayer chain.
Rasim Ruždić shows on the body in the river Korana, where the body of Ihsanudin Gull Muhammad was found.
Drowned, fleeing from the Croatian border police?
came How Ihsanudin exactly killed, can’t be more clear. What is certain is that He was with a group on the road and tried to cross the Bosnian-Croatian border. Ruždić assumes that the group of the Croatian border police was taken up:
“Then fled back to Bosnia. Escape the poor Boy has been likely separated from the group, has found the way back and got into deep water. He probably could not swim and drowned.”
eye of the needle on the Bosnian-Croatian border
Bosnia and Herzegovina was so far away from the so-called Balkan route, the routes to Western Europe through other countries. It was in 2017, still less than 800 people, have been registered in 2018, about 25,000 so-called illegal migrants in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The people try to reach the EU country Croatia. Some succeed, others will be taken up by the Croatian border police.
migrants and refugees have reported that the Croatian police will give you no Chance to apply for asylum, they illegally cross the ‘green border’ to return and resort to violence. Croatia rejects these allegations consistently. Ruždić does not believe the Croatian authorities and has a clear opinion:
“If you want to stop the people, to stop them, but you do not need to kill you.”
