In August, 2017, the interviewee, a 18 years-old man from Libya, crossed the border from Serbia to Croatia by train. After he reached Zagreb he took a taxi, and asked for this address: CFP Studies (cesta 112 A), the address of an organization that helps people-on-the-move. After introducing his case, the people he met from this organization took him to the police station, where he was suppose to give his fingerprints to start the asylum process. Instead, the police officers beat him and he was placed in a van with other people on the move. They were driven to the Serbian border, several kilometers from Šid.
