Hamid and Bushra met on Facebook in 2012 by commenting on a mutual friend’s post. Today they use social media to find clients as human smugglers – migrants, asylum seekers and refugees looking to cross the Turkish-Greek border safely.
“We laugh about it now,” Hamid said, “but that is how we met.”
Like many smugglers active on this border, Hamid and Bushra started out as migrants. “We learned this job by trying to make the route ourselves many times,” Hamid said.
