On 19 April 2023, Fatmata Kamara - known to her friends and family as Fatima- was shot and killed by a policeman at the border between Greece and North Macedonia. She died in the arms of her husband, Abu Bakar. She was 23 years old.
Her death barely made the news.
Her story raises many important questions… Who was Fatmata, and what really happened that night? Why did her death pass with so little attention? What does it say about whose lives are most valued, who is protected by the law—and who is not? And in the end… what does justice look like for those she left behind?
