Aysha’s Journey - A Syrian refugee mother and her two children on the Balkan route from Greece to Germany

Night, Sunday 13th of September 2015. We waited for 1 ½ hour and the finally the bus left, but few hundred meters down the road it was stopped by a plain cloth policeman and made us return. The excuse was that some people onboard didn’t have the registration papers. We waited for one more hour while every 10 minutes the driver was saying that we are living now. People got upset and finally the driver said he is not leaving and forced us to alight. We went to the next bus where the some thing happened. Finally at a third bus and 5 hours later we left.
