and the judges in my country, the turkish human rights activist of osmond color has been in solitary confinement for over a year charged with an attempted coup. he was sentenced to life in prison. last month, kabbalah shouldn't be in, but there are many prisoners who are detained or sentenced by means of arbitrary decisions. osborne cut, a voice from prison, starts may 12th on d, w. the goose. but these are the personal belongings. one unique number number to the case. the

engagement represents a human life. you know what, these are the few kilometers from the turkish greek border. the police got a tip off. there was a body in the forest. now cost us public research to read is the local funeral director has been given the job of recovering the remains with these colleagues. hey police officer, let's get started before it start the nice area. actually, we're not sure if we weren't paying for this reason or do we take everything?

suggest gloves. one route taken by migrants trying to get from turkey to the european union passes through the forest of the everest region. most migrants travel in groups. this disused shed seems to have served as a makeshift shelter the sleeping bags look as if they'd been abandoned in panic. cruising from turkey to greece is illegal for migrants without a visa. they hide from the police and they try to make their way through this difficult terrain to leave the border behind them. the, the funeral director has no idea what conditions the body is in. it's over here. not far from the ever us and the regional capital alex and truthfully is the university hospital forensics professor and medical examiner.

pablo's path lead to his works here. all the migrants bodies found here are brought to him. after sting, there wasn't enough in the last 22 years. i've seen about 600 dead bodies on the greek side, a loan sort of a radically hypothetically. we could say that there are just as many deadlines on the docusign. and so we're talking about 12021500 people. so that at the pacific i get the bought. we receive a lot more set requests from that, from relatives that it left or some level that that's the key. the forensic scientist works on behalf of the state. he doesn't just determine the cause and time of dash, the most of the migrants are carrying any form of id. so we also tries to identify them that they often will. i'm a nickel and the case of debt. my grandson came to our country illegally and like we fast examine them externally and describe that client gun with shoes. it's

called what type of they have with them from the books we photographed them. then we remove the clouds and look the personal offense and documents just in here was one with that will help set them up with something kind of game and they got this and we all my time there for me. the medical examiner had more cases in 2022 than ever before. most young man finally get into form. the head is good on this side and the legs stay on the body line. see if this was separate from this side all the way conduct total, the examinations necessary for a proper or thompson. somebody to solve the case. but if you want to get the videos to present the cool the region here is named after the arrows, the river on the border between greece and turkey. the external border of the e u. the frontier is heavily guarded. since 2020 a fence has been steadily growing along the length of the river,

the barrier is meant to keep migrants out of the u. but many attempt to crossing never the less and dine in the process. then this isn't. there shouldn't be any particularly hard cases for someone like me. but when children are involved it small, difficult, far as going through a funeral director and his assistant have found the body. it seems other migrants have buried him in a shallow grave. for me, i've got as close to the surface of the dashboard. it's pull it, pull them. yes, that's it. cool. cool.

and then it. okay, that's actually what you can do you have any issues? no. the other migrants often take them. okay. done. the body of the deadman and some of his clothes now have to be taken to alex and truthfully. so professor pav leaders can examine, know the how old do you think i have his id phones are all that's left with the

cost as papa chris has to meet us, stops off at his funeral home. he built up the business together with his family. he also deals with ordinary cases, but nowadays recovering dead bodies from the border makes up a large part of his work of the go get a bunch of this is where i wash the bodies and then put them in the refrigerator. yeah. what about the ones i brought 35 of them here after they drowned, and the address if i, dentist, occasion as possible, relative living in europe often come to pay their last respect here at the funeral

home. this court clinic, it's very hard, they're crying, they're all crying. can you imagine that if you just kindly travel so far, to either pick up the body of a dead relative or to bury them here to lower the for i bring the body to turkey and it's transported home from there because the court a it's a family can't afford to have their loved ones body repatriated. it is buried here in a cemetery, especially set up for muslims who come from elsewhere. their countries of origin are inscribed on their grades, somalia, afghanistan, syria, people of all ages. many of the grades are fresh, the

what makes this border so dangerous. the river looks harmless. it's shallow in many places. but that must have ocean and that's the beginning of the process. a dangerous rather flat. it's broad and deep in bonds. and so human smugglers don't allow microns to take any long gauge on both that, but there's one in that for name now falls to with several layers of clothing for the 2 or 3 pounds of trousers o 5 shots, the long a that this has been to move this to bottom and grow up. we'll get just the slightest thing happens in the bug cap sizes of nice things with all of these kind of like deadlines to settle. so many people are crammed into the boats that they often tube over drowning is the most common cause of death. hypothermia is the 2nd most common other depths are linked to exhaustion. the way none of these people are exhausted have was for the many hours the that's

what the last, why there are other causes of death. but besides drowning everybody's skeptical enough about this and imagined a man in the tide and way and talked to swimming across the river. yes, and wearing, with many lands of clothing for i knew then takes a raft enough to hold flexible. that's why hypothermia is the 2nd most common cause of dance, duplicate. but of course, that almost as some people with preexisting medical conditions they want to wear off of the blue dying from over exemption. the those spots the apples it's already done by the time the funeral director takes the remains from the forest to the hospitals institute for forensic medicine. professor pub lead is plans to forensically examine the bones the next morning. the remains are stored at 0 degrees celsius and a more refrigerator. who was this person who might be looking for them

in hanover, save of courtesy is trying to trace his younger brother. he's a cruise who fled to germany in 2015 after the war, broke out in syria. he's just finished training to be a truck driver. the rest of his family sled to a rock along with his brother mohammed have all the he was very good in school. and so he always ranked 1st or 2nd. and we wanted to offer him a better life. and that was also my goal home and see if it's impossible to put into words for indescribable sense. we are very close to one another on the

spot because i was very lonely the whole time. i have a lot of friends, but still, but it's nothing like being brothers enough money. no matter who your friends with this family is always number one. plus i was i was really looking forward to him coming. but of because the situation was also difficult for set our cost teams. finally, in a rock, the family decided to send his 14 year old brother to germany in fall 2021 across the everest route. 2 these on the vendor, just like everyone else was with the people smuggler or on foot with a boat and illegally because it's not possible to do it legally, which i know. and anyway, we didn't have any documents in syria, oceans you and got in october 2021. mohammed got in touch from turkey and said that he was planning to cross the emeralds river with

a group of others. on the 21st of october 2021 instead of causing got a phone call in hanover shows. um it was the people smugglers up is up. you know, they said that something that happened and that mohammed had fallen into the waters and they said they waited but couldn't find him initially. that was a line. then we found out that they hadn't wasted and simply carried on to finish them out. they were frightened because what they were doing was illegal. and then i and i said any gardner, he flew to greece to ever us to look for his brother. he had his dna registered back at home. he scoured facebook, visiting search platforms for missing migrants, all in vain. the internet is swirling with rumors, horror stories that are missing migrant center got dubious offers to find well how much body for 2000 years. he ignored them, hoping for a sign of life from his brother. this is from ha, it's really difficult,

misplaced before it gets hard to put out of your mind. because no matter how long the wait long of but she'll f, i hope it'll end well. a good morning. i'm just going to the next day, pablo's probably to is has to examine the bones from the forest. he has already received instructions from the state prosecutor's office. the forensics professor has been the medical examiner for the ambrose region for 22 years. he gets inquiries from all over the world, from people desperate to find out what is become of their loved ones, asking whether he had identified them among the bodies recovered from the boarder regence. they send photos,

videos taken shortly before the crossing spots by the river, where the missing person was last seen at the latest is not permitted to respond directly until he has verified the identity of the person. making the inquiry say about a kind of scene from hanover has sent him the photo of his missing brother mohammed or they look at us and listen to them. i'm actually looking at hancock's, on the bicycle obligate line kind of low repo enough to and then the love seeing the see the cheek bones you will and the shape of the face of this one. this thing got the phone. there's a one month ago, i think, i think there's a couple the account to risk stakes that you can easily recognizable music, particularly anything linked to bones. what or the excuse me or style? is there any chance that the remains found in the forest could be safe or ca seems

brother. the examination begins of the full so god what was the time and cause of death? are there any clues about the identity of the deceased? the more intact the body is, the better for the whole thing the what can you see? is there a fee, my phone, at least of the business go to the for the and there are many missing bones. pablo's pub latest takes dna samples from one they are stored here and in a central database in athens. and i also need one for anthropology. so 3 sontols

and all sorts of the forensic scientist and his assistant interrupt their work. when the funeral director arrives at the hospital, the dead are stored in refrigerator containers, outback. 10 bodies are scheduled for burial. they couldn't all be identified. cost as public research to meet is how to take the right ones. the smell of the composition hangs in the year. they all want to get it over with as quickly as possible. the mood is tense. lee, but wait, we need order. so it's one but not the other. this one and this should bring a bad stop 0 c, w 260 b can go well this one. yes,

x is 789, and the body from the other containing make 10. this one. this one here. that makes 8. no, there are 10. the labels fell off as it was being moved. you've already got this one here. at the funeral director takes the unidentified bodies to the cemetery for nameless migrants in the regions north. the professor continues to examine the remains from the floor in the back. joking, pants of them, i hate this too well storage. it's possible to estimate a person's size on the basis of the theme or length. they inspect the bones to see if there were any fractures prior to death to product. and so take that to separate the workforce, so after 20 minutes, the examination is over and it's time to make final preparations.

the 1st appears on it, so the young man about 20 years old will solve so suddenly having all the bones, nothing goes that goes with this. with a know a young man died in the forest close to the border. maybe he was probably traveling with a group of migrants after philip was he injured? perhaps during a violent altercation. that wouldn't be unusual and people say, and then simply left behind. the 2nd level of similar center. remember, is that the goal, in this case, there are no signs of violence prior to death level. we rolled out, found to as far as we possibly can, to get better, stay to the body is such that it seems likely that all the medical problems led to his down uses for phone, talk at all possible if possible, that the cause of death was organ failure or hyperglycemia. the remains were found

just a few kilometers from a village. the medical examiner is not surprised that the young man didn't make it that far. or that nobody from the group went for help. even after that, the man that's good then in the village, i'm glad it's fine. but if someone is dehydrated into time to walk about, then they won't make it by phone. or at least people avoid the villages because they're afraid they'll have to move it to the police. and they hide from the police because they are afraid of being arrested. for one that i'm missing the phone in, the border zone is closely monitored and is off limits for the public. it's guarded by front techs on behalf of the e u. n. by degree police. constantino's to like heat is comes from the everest region. he can remember a time when the river was more accessible. the building of the border fence started

in 2020. it's 5 meters high and some 38 kilometers long. and it's being steadily extended. more of a fortification in a fence. or for us this, like if you go to just seeing defense isn't all to official batteries built to stop anyone who tries to cross the river to get in degrees. but as it has a deterrent effect. and i just didn't allow the, this is an apple that if the car but the ambrose is almost 200 kilometers long in total. and in woodland areas, it's not so easy to erect a barrier on the river bank as it is here. does the construction of such fortifications, simply prompt migraines to take a different route rather than preventing illegal crossings? does it just makes it more dangerous? or here to help the, you know, i wouldn't say that much of the problem has always existed. that will always

migrants who died in the forest. so remote areas in the mountains is best office. a couple 100 in minus the, the funeral director is on his way to the cemetery for anonymous migrants. he's transporting 10 dead bodies recovered from the border zone. the last one on that stuff. what number is that? 1? 16. 22. okay, take it. when they arrive, volunteers have already done the graves. each one of the 10 deceased migraines has a grave marked with a number. every state pays the burial costs. it's a distressing task. is there a number here and we'll go from there?

yes, 76122 will be paid for this to buy, recover the body, and so then a transport them and then i bring them here to go. but for these people who died, you have still been eligible, isn't it? a pity, then agree by the demand don't hurry to task. little stuff, but they checked the numbers of each individual body and the number of each grade then the burial takes place. the wasn't shown, i don't know who's lying there is a body hasn't been identified for the meal. relatives couldn't ask the forensic

scientist for the number it could've rented smart here in alex and through police. it's no clear that the body found in the forest cannot be so far as missing brother. the age didn't match and the medical examiner has also ruled out that 14 year old mohammed is among the owner. identified bodies found earlier eh, kevin, who, you're still a child. seemed to me, i would remember him for me. i think so. no, unfortunately, it doesn't ring any bells less than as you make outdoors. in hanover seller costing. it still has no idea what happened to his brother. sometimes he would almost prefer to hear that his body had been found

lice. it is oh worse, it wouldn't be easy. that service, but it would be better than not knowing. look here so easily knew that he had died and could bury him soon, but then it would be clear as well as this. plus here it is what it is secure. it's something we'd have to accept. what this on certainly gives us heard. i find that really, really awful. it's the worst thing for managed versus russian. so i'm gonna pass here in con is tortured by the disappearance of his brother. you got him of him, doesn't matter what you do, you can't forget on that. unfortunately, it's simply a fact are far, far according to the international red cross, $541.00 migrants are classed as missing and greece. people whose friends and loved ones are desperate to find out what has happened to them. just like said i with each passing day, it's ever less likely that his brother made it out of the river alive. troubles

most often. i haven't given up hope. and i want to go until we know one way or another, because no matter how long it takes a must have it, sometimes we feel we can't go on so that we won't give up and as long as humanly possible. so by these keys, for christmas are powerless privileges is on his way to the state prosecutor's office. he has 52 open cases at the moment. a sense of duty won't let him close them yet and he fears they will more in the winter. it's good to, to feel we have been experiencing it for 22 years now. altogether, unfortunately, the people dying i incline younger simone designs the same. the only person that i

have the center software is always a difficult topic. viscado. but i'm a scientist. my separate the professional and the emotional and i don't get emotions into pay it with my junk book. then at the end of the month, the funds. will there be a ceremony with no, a civil burial for gigi will someone kind of time yourself on the floor that someone used to say a prayer for the dead of us? not anymore. did you say it or do you like got a religious leader? why did it and daughter, your name is your own getting on my nerves. now that if you sit in your offices and

think you're something special about after about 20 minutes, all the bodies have been buried. the fact that the funeral director believes in life after death isn't any comfort for him at that moment. when his wife, over, when you can't touch her, pulled your logo, plug in your soul, touch it. there is life after death, but just for the soul. want it doesn't have a body like so. it's invisible without him. and then stillness defends again on the cemetery for the nameless dead. anonymous migrants and europe sport a who will mourn them? the

it seems so simple. did guy admitted possibly think much and i was go the oldest guy eugene. i finally got this looking figured it couldn't get by it. yes ma'am. oh god, i'll make up what i'll come on. we've got that. so in geico, but it had really made a bit of course of transitioning someone to bio gas. how do we make this accessible to everyone? india in 30 minutes on d w. the

. this is dw, use live from berlin, mass protests erupt across pakistan after 4 are prime minister in rock. china is taken into custody. supporters of the, as the leader, take their anger to the streets. after, con is dragged from court in shock arrest. the dramatic escalation comes and made a growing pressure on pakistan's coalition. government.
