Lesbos: Maleka Mahmoodie wanted to die and set himself on fire

On Lesbos, a pregnant Afghan woman tried to kill herself with fire. Although she now lives in Germany, she is now being tried in Greece for arson. In this case, however, it is no longer about right and wrong.

How would you carry on when you’ve been on the run for five years and you end up stranded with your family in a refugee camp that burns down shortly afterwards?

And what if you were also pregnant and suffering from depression and you had to watch your traumatized children wake up every night?

And what if there is finally a flight, after many months, that is supposed to get you out of your misery, but the flight is then canceled indefinitely due to corona regulations and you now have the certainty that you are back in the mud two days after your caesarean section will lie. In a cold tent. In the dirt. After all this years. How would you go on?
