The story of two Kurdish sisters reveals the full contradiction and harshness of the Dublin regime: The first is granted asylum in Switzerland and is able to build a life for herself. The second follows along with her family, but is intercepted by the Croatian police, pressured to apply for asylum—and then rejected in Switzerland. A deportation follows whose brutality is unparalleled.
