Today (04 February 2018) at 1.30am Iraq time Saman’s body was returned to his family in Kurdistan for burial.

Saman left Iraq in August 2017 to look for a better life.  Saman reached Istanbul safely.  The last contact Saman had with his family was via phone call on 19 September.  He told his family of his desire to reach Europe and said he was going to buy a ticket for a boat.  Tragically Saman never reached his destination alive.  The boat ran into trouble in the black Sea close to Rumania, when the Rumanian Helicopter arrived. Saman got up to greet them but sadly slipped and fell off the boat and drowned.
