As a Hazara, Barat Ali Batoor faced violent oppression in his native Pakistan, so he sought asylum in Australia. His journey took weeks, cost thousands of dollars, and nearly ended in disaster countless times. Batoor, a photographer, documented every step of the way. See his incredible images.
庇护者的故事，往往以抽象新闻报道的急迫笔调呈现：又一批移民被当局拘押；又一艘满载寻求庇护者的船只在海上失踪。这些数字触目惊心、引人关注，却鲜少触及个人。与之形成鲜明对比的，是摄影师巴拉特·阿里·巴图尔（TED演讲：我与人蛇的绝望之旅）的亲历故事——2012年，他被迫逃离巴基斯坦对哈扎拉族裔的迫害。他辗转泰国、马来西亚和印度尼西亚，历经空路、陆路与海路，旅途长达数周，耗资数千美元，数度濒临绝境。如今已成为寻求庇护者倡导人的巴图尔说：”我以为自己会死在这段旅途上。”
然而，他也深知记录下这一鲜有报道的悖论的重要性：那些不得不以生命为代价寻求安全的人所付出的代价。请看他这段非凡旅程中的部分照片，并聆听他亲口讲述的故事。
