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 - EP 6 Intercept Illegal Migrants

Subjected to the most appalling living conditions, most migrants in the north of France are desperate to get to the UK but are prevented from crossing the Channel by an extremely dissuasive police and security operation on the French side of the border — the result of the Le Touquet Treaty signed by France and the UK in 2003 that shifted British immigration checks to France. Despite all the obstacles, migrants try to climb onto trucks along the road every day, sometimes at the cost of their lives.

Hassan, Syrian boy, finally united with his mother in the UK

Hassan, Syrian boy, finally united with his mother in the UK

Hassan (not his real name) used to live in Deraa in Syria. As the fighting intensified, he gave up school to go and join his mother and little sister who had fled to Turkey.
In Turkey, his mother and sister had obtained the documents authorising them to enter the UK.
Then began Hassan’s journey to be reunited with them.
He travelled through Greece, Serbia, Macedonia, Hungary, Germany and then France,
where he ended up alone, aged just 16, in the Calais Jungle.
