A Ghanaian man speaks about his 9 month’s detention after being arrested while working a cleaning job. Because communication with his family in Ghana wasn’t possible during this time, it was not until his release, months later, that he learned his big brother, who was like a father to him, had died without him being able to say goodbye. - ‘If you don’t have papers you are illegal here, but you have not done unlawful things, you have not gone to someone’s house to steal. I don’t see why you should be arrested if you are simply working in order to have something to eat. In Ghana our borders are open to you, you won’t get into trouble as long as you abide by the law. Why did I have to go to prison here for 9 months if I’ve done nothing wrong?’ @basniemans #photosarebullets
