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.

Spontaneous distributions of food and clothes, offers of accommodation, initiatives launched by local elected officials and associations... This display of solidarity seen throughout Europe is exposed to measures of intimidation. In France, several people have been convicted of assisting refugees with transport or accommodation and, in February 2016, the French government issued Grande Synthe's mayor with a summons for having re-housed (with help from MSF), 1,300 people fending for themselves in an unsanitary and muddy camp, because the new camp, which provides individual shelters and sanitation, did not comply with "standards".
