Amir walks in the garden outside his apartment in the Channel Islands on April 23, 2016. He arrived from France in the trunk of his brother's car, but was caught by Jersey law enforcement. Amir is the first official refugee to reach Jersey Island, but because the Island does not have any asylum laws, he is currently awaiting his sentence as a criminal case. A local charity had Amir released from prison on bail. They have since provided him with a room at the local church while he awaits his verdict. © Rasmus Degnbol
