Welcome to Johnny Hunter's website. Invented by Médecins Sans Frontières and collective ET BIM, fictional anti-hero Johnny personifies the brutality, absurdity and contradictions of Europe's migration policies.

In 2015 one million people had no other choice than to risk their lives on makeshift boats as they attempted to flee across the sea to Europe. As the countries of Europe progressively shut down their borders, in March 2016 it was decided to send refugees landing in Greece back to Turkey. MSF runs search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean and provides assistance in Greece, Italy, northern France and along routes through the Balkans. You too can say #ImNotJohnny and join us in taking a stand against the EU's migration policies that abuse and reject people seeking refuge on European soil, condemning them to a clandestine existence and extreme hardship.

Johnny Hunter, Migrant Buster - EP1 Root Out Migrants

In razing a migrant camp somewhere in Europe, Johnny is applying the European Union's policy designed to dissuade refugees from entering, moving around and settling within its borders, claiming that saturation point has been reached. But the reality is that there are less refugees in Europe with its 500 million inhabitants than Turkey (2.5 million refugees for a population of 75 million) or Lebanon (1.2 million refugees for a population of 4 million).
