Abdul fled Sierra Leone after being forced to participate in an initiation ceremony for a secret society, where he was drugged, tied up, beaten.

"I just feel like dying and end everything - but I was able to escape," he says.

Despite medication and therapy, Abdul says: "I wake up and then scream like I have, I just have these bad dreams about these people."

On his way to Athens, he nearly drowned but was rescued by the authorities.

"So I would say the Greek government is my strength and it's my support," he says.

"When you have hope, you have the ability to do things.

"When I was back home, actually my dream was to become an IT specialist.

"My hope is to continue my education."

Abdul also dreams of starting a family.

"I don't want to be afraid throughout to my life," he says. "[I] just want to be free."
