The three accused opened the Freedom Conference, speaking about their journey to Malta, their time in prison, and their ongoing trial. They were joined by their legal defense Neil Falzon, as well as @RegineNguiniPs, Judith Sunderland, Ramona Lenz, Jelka and Maurice Stierl.

Abdalla: "We arrived in Malta on 28.03.2019. The authorities separated us and locked us up in prison. One day, I got a letter from the #ElHiblu3-campaign: 'Stay strong, you are heroes and we support you!' And I regained the hope that I had lost." #DropTheCharges

"We don’t want to hear another story of people on the move and activists being criminalised and sent to jail. Speak up, speak loud, we don’t have more time. We need actions, not words!” Sarah Mardini at the #Elhiblu3 Freedom Conference.

Deanna of @alarmphone: “In April 2020, we assisted a boat in distress. For 4 days, we waited on Maltese authorities to intervene. Instead, they forced them back to Libya and let 12 people die. Only thanks to women who reached out from detention could we reconstruct this case.”

We will never give up on you! ✊ After two days of back to back workshops and panels, we concluded the #ElHiblu3 Freedom Conference tonight. We built transnational solidarity to counter the criminalisation of migration in Malta and throughout Europe. Freedom for the #ElHiblu3!

The #ElHiblu3 about the visit of @pontifex: 'It was a great honour to meet the #Pope and present our book to him. We really hope this meeting brings awareness about our case and that we can soon have our freedom back.'
