Malta, a nation of seafarers, turns its back on people in need and instead criminalises who steps up and takes responsibility to help those seeking protection. Our summary on the six years in limbo of the #ElHiblu3 can be found here: timesofmalta.com/article/abuse-… Enough is enough!

Breaking: Naval Court issued charges against 17 ΛΙΜΕΝΙΚΟ ΣΩΜΑ officers in connection with the #Pylos shipwreck, who are now referred to a "main investigation". 600+ people died in the incident. Almost 2 years since the tragic events, the wheels of justice are finally moving.

The historic charges against 17 Hellenic Coast Guars officers over the #Pylos shipwreck inspire hope for truth and accountability and is an important step towards ending the cycle of violence and impunity at Greece’s borders. Well done to all involved! rsaegean.org/en/pylos-shipw…

The Naval Court in Greece has said 17 coast guard officers should face felony charges over a shipwreck on June 14, 2023, in which at least 500 migrants died. Greek authorities did not intervene in a timely or safe way despite the boat being obviously in distress.

"Italy needs to stop its complicity with the Libyan Coast Guard, who are implicated in the torture, exploitation, and degrading treatment of the people they interdict and bring back to Libya." - Judith Sunderland / Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2025/10/1…

Gli atti di violenza armata contro le persone #migranti e le #ONG impegnate nei soccorsi stanno aumentando in modo allarmante. Solo nelle ultime 6 settimane abbiamo assistito a 4 attacchi in mare! L’#Italia e l’#UnioneEuropea devono cessare ogni forma di sostegno a queste azioni.
