After arriving in Greece, Mardini and her sister applied for asylum and were granted permission to stay in the country. However, they faced challenges as they tried to rebuild their lives in a new country. Mardini became involved in the refugee community and began volunteering with organizations that provided assistance to refugees.
In 2016, Mardini was arrested and charged with human smuggling after she helped a group of refugees crosses the border from Greece into Serbia. Mardini maintained her innocence and claimed that she was simply trying to help people who were in need. She spent over a year in detention while her case was being heard.
