Activation Lock

I bought an iPhone from someone, but there is the activation lock and I can't contact the old owner because they moved to another country.

What do I do now?

Is there any other ways to like avoid the activation lock and use the iPhone?

You will need to contact the seller to have them log out of iCloud or go to iCloud.com/Find My Phone and erase the device, then remove it from their account. If you can’t do that, the device is useless.
