An illegal migrant, age 17, drowned in a Bosnian river. Here's how citizens responded

A photo of Ajmal Khan on his way to Western Europe to find work, taken by a travel companion and sent by Khan to his family in Afghanistan via WhatsApp. The 17-year-old drowned when crossing the Drina River in Tuzla, the third largest city in Bosnia-Herzegovina — part of a common route for migrants as they headed toward wealthier European countries.

On the risky journey from the Global South to Europe, migrants often perish. In a town in Bosnia-Herzegovina, near a river where dozens have drowned, citizens seek to provide closure to the families.
