04The Amini’s

FLTR up: Tawhid Amini, Idris Amini, Mohammad Osman Amini, Hadis Amini. FLTR down: Mah Khanum Amini, Hoodad Amini, Makai Amini, Safiullah Amini, Tayeba Amini.rnrnWhen Safiullah’s nephew in Afghanistan converted to Christianity, it put a target on his back. Under certain versions of Sharia law, a ‘Murtad’ may be killed by anyone who finds him. The Amini’s helped their nephew escape this horrible faith and handed him over to the Afghan government. The case gained national attention on TV and the government was pressured by  religious leaders to execute him. With the help of the British and American forces, the boy was brought to safety, but it became known that the Amini’s had helped him escape. Because they had helped him, they were now seen as ‘Murtads’ themselves and became persecuted by religious leaders (Mullahs) and the Taliban. One of Saifullah’s brothers was killed, and the family fled to another village. But the Taliban found them again and managed to kill another brother. The family received death threats saying: “If we find you, we will kill you and if we find your children, we will take them away from you”. Saifullah sold his house, land and carpet shop and they left for Europe.

04Abdol

Abdol Azimi is suffering from parkinson, dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder from when the Taliban entered his home and attacked the women and children in his family. Terrible things happened that night the family wants to keep private. Abdol was already sick, but that night, his condition got worse. Now, he spends his days lying in his bed shaking uncontrollably and babbling about the distant past. He cannot walk. His two sons, Saeid and Meysam carried him on their backs for most of the journey from Afghanistan to Greece. At the border between Iran and Turkey they walked for 10 days through the jungle with little water and almost no food, but they were caught by Iranian border officials. Saeid’s aunt was shot and killed. The whole family was arrested and deported back to Afghanistan after paying off the border officials. They went back to Afghanistan with nothing. All their possessions were sold in order to make the trip to Europe the first time. When they got back, their village was controlled by the Taliban. Saeid talks about a system of ‘Zakat’, under which valuables are confiscated as a form of taxation. ‘This even applies to your daughter’, Saeid says. A choice is  given: deliver your daughter or pay the dowry that would normally be payable upon marriage. Anyone that refused would be killed. One night the Taliban invaded their home. They decided that they had no choice. After a year in Afghanistan they had to try to leave again.
