This man, Roh Yakobi, wears and bears the scars of war. His dad was the local militia commander, and life was hard. He was kidnapped by the Taliban aged 12, imprisoned, and tortured. He fled to Pakistan as a child, smuggling opium across the border, and Iran, where he worked as a child labourer in factories and construction sites. He made it to Britain in 2004, and is now Associate Fellow at the Human Security Centre. He also likes his fish and chips.
