Dad, do not cry - the picture that flew all over the world

Montenegrin media published on November 22. Macedonia began to check refugees and across the border allows refugees to pass only from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. All other refugees are prohibited from crossing the border, since other countries, according to the European classification, are not affected by the war. These countries include: Iran, Sri Lanka, Sudan, South Sudan, Morocco and other countries. Toughening border measures Macedonia took immediately after a series of terrorist attacks in Paris.

UNHCR (United Nations agency for refugees) reported on Thursday that Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia have begun checking refugees on their nationality and only refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria are allowed to cross the border.

A snapshot of the photographer capturing the sincere moment between father and son on the border of Greece with Macedonia attracted a lot of attention of people in social networks. The photographer has seized an intimate moment, when the inexorably crying father is calmed by a small son. Father and son flee from the war. The father, sitting on the ground, is holding food and can not stop crying, and the little son tries to calm him down. This photo, published on the Humans of the Refuge page, has flown around the world.

The photo was taken after the news appeared that the refugees had been denied entry to Macedonia from those countries that were not affected by the war.

On the page in the social network, under the published photo there is a text where it is in particular written that asylum is a universal right and should not concern only people who are from countries where the war is going on. Closure of borders before people who seek asylum is a violation of the Geneva Convention, an act of racial and national discrimination. ("Shutting down the borders in the face of the Asylum Seekers").
