Mohammed (27), Darfur, Sudan.

Mohammed, a 27-year-old Sudanese refugee has been born in a refugee camp in Darfur. His hands bear the marks of the cost of crossing attempts for those who don’t have the excessive cash it takes to pay a smuggler.

“Police hate refugees.” Two out of the 11 months Mohammed has been living as a refugee in Calais have been spent in prison. He was arrested with five others after trying to sneak onto a Eurotunnel train and recalls his time incarcerated with a grimace. “The police there, they don’t talk to you, they just hit you,” he says. Mohammed lived in Germany for one year but could not manage to secure papers. He regularly tries to sneak onto lorries bound for U.K. ferries and trains but has not managed to make it past police, who consistently beat him, leaving his hands injured.
