He is the central person involved in the “38” case on the island of Evros. Last summer, 27-year-old Bayda al Saleh was the main source of information for the international media, sending out videos and photos from the Greek-Turkish border, claiming that a 5-year-old girl died during a multi-day attempt by a group of migrants to cross the border. One of the members of this group his testimony in “K” he reported that the smuggler was inspired by the death of little Mary and that Bayda, who was in touch with him, undertook to guide him, putting on girlish make-up to put pressure and not prevent their entry into Greek territory.

Finally, in mid-August, the “38” group crossed the interior of Greece, they were first taken to the Prisoner Identification Reception Center in Evros, and on September 9 to the reception office in Drama, which is not closed. Like the next day published by “K” 01/22/2023, Baida and other members of the group left the structure in a taxi and allegedly went illegally to Germany. On December 30, the German magazine Spiegel picked up the case by removing relevant publications. His latest post also revealed new details about Baida, such as her first video call to the German magazine and NGO Human Rights 360 on July 22, when he pointed to the island’s shore and said they were stranded there. According to the latest Spiegel publication, her selfie data at the time corresponded to an island in Turkey. The group later reportedly moved to the disputed island.

He wasn’t on the list

Her name was not on the original list sent on July 20 to the European Court of Human Rights by lawyers from Human Rights 360 and the Hellenic Council for Refugees. In their new request from 9/8, they included him, stating that he was not included in the first list by mistake. In December, Spiegel wrote that Bayda lives in Germany’s Rhineland-Palatinate region and that, after escaping from the Drama structure, she posted a video of a flight departing from Athens on TikTok, writing in Arabic: “I arrived in Germany, it’s been a long time.” fight.” This video has now been deleted.

Did he live in Germany?

Recently, the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung met with her in Germany. The 27-year-old refused to talk about the “38” case. In her own words, she was born in Raqqa, Syria in 1995 and is the author of six books. She was active on social media, uploading photos of locations from Germany, even before the islet trial period, raising reasonable questions about her identity: did she live in Germany and with what status, how did she end up on Evros, and was she really a refugee . In Germany, she appears married to a compatriot. The Swiss newspaper calls her an influencer and notes that the places she posted on Instagram are not in themselves proof that she has already lived in Germany, since the user can claim anything. Now she has blocked her accounts. Greek authorities reportedly requested more information about her from Germany.

Over the summer, Bayda revealed in a video that she was at the border with her 70-year-old grandmother. However, she told Swiss journalists that her grandmother did not go to Greece.
