Sea-Watch captain Carola Rackete is under house arrest in Italy.(02.07.2019)(...)Wolfgang Schäuble, German parliamentary president and a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), took an ambiguous line, telling the Bild newspaper, "No one can seriously dispute that you have to rescue people in danger at sea." But he added that rescue organizations like Sea-Watch should "avoid wrong signals and discuss self-critically whether they aren't supporting the business of traffickers."But Sea-Watch says that the EU's current strategy against human traffickers (supporting the Libyan coastguard to stop boats leaving its shores), actually ends up financing traffickers.According to the organization, there is evidence that Libya's coastguards are run by the country's militias, who in some cases also operate people-smuggling networks. A Human Rights Watch report from January this year also said that "EU policies contribute to the abuse of migrants in Libya.""If anything is human trafficking, then surely it's paying militias to pick up people from the open sea and taking them back to a country where they're threatened with persecution or slavery, or rape or torture, in complete violation of the UN convention on refugees," said Sea-Watch spokesperson Chris Grodotzki.-------------------------------- Η "τάση":"Fundamental rights considerations: NGO ships involved in search and rescue (SAR) in the Mediterranean and criminal investigations.(2017)https://fra.europa.eu/en/node/27683-------1) Το Alex είναι βοηθητικό τους πλοίο.

Και τι θα πει ακριβώς; Α! θα πάρω 10 οι υπόλοιποι να κάτσετε να πνιγείτε;3) Mediterranea Saving Humans said Friday in a tweet that its sailing boat ALEX was off Italy’s southernmost island of Lampedusa, just outside Italian territorial waters, and that it has been banned from entering Italian jurisdiction by ministerial decree, the Associated Press (AP) reported.It has urged that the migrants, rescued from a rubber dinghy Thursday off Libya, be allowed transfer to Italian or Maltese patrol boats taking into consideration their condition.For its part, Malta said Thursday that it will take the migrants in a deal with Italy to take an equal number already in Malta.In a tweet, the group said that “due to the psychophysical conditions of the people on board and the characteristics of the ship” it was not able to make the journey to Malta.“But we could transfer the shipwrecked to Maltese or Italian patrol boats,” it added.In a further tweet, the group’s spokeswoman Alessandra Sciurba wrote: “Unfortunately there’s no boat arriving from Malta to transfer the 54 migrants.”Mediterranea on Alex case: “in these conditions sailing to Malta would seriously endanger health and safety of people on board. Lampedusa is the only possible place of safety.https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.aawsat.com/english/home/article/1799411/ship-dozens-migrants-barred-docking-italy%3famp+"Malta also told the Alex to go to Valletta to allow the migrants to disembark but Mediterranea said the journey would be too arduous and the boat would be likely to be SEIZED if it did.Photographs showed dozens of people seeking shelter from the sun under survival blankets on the narrow deck of the 18-metre sailboat.“In these conditions it is impossible to face 15 hours of sailing,” Mediterranea’s Alessandra Sciurba said on Twitter."+Έχει και ιταλική σημαία:"The Decree is illegitimate: because it cannot be applied to a ship that has carried out a rescue operation to protect human life at sea. And because it cannot be forbidden for an Italian flag to enter the waters of its own Country"Η Λιβύη, για ευνόητους λόγους και η Τυνησία ΔΕΝ θεωρούνται ασφαλείς, οπότε είναι εκτός. Η Λαμπεντούζα είναι η πιο κοντινή νήσος. Απ' ότι διαβάζουμε και πριν πιάσουν λιμάνι περίμεναν, εναλλακτικά, να τους στείλουν σκάφος από την Μάλτα για να πάρει τον κόσμο, έφοσον έγινε η συμφωνία να δεχτεί τον κόσμο η Μάλτα, κάτι που δεν έγινε ποτέ και σου λέει ο άλλος: "εγώ δεν το διακινδυνεύω άλλο. Εμεις σώσαμε τους ανθρώπους απ'την θάλασσα: κύριοι και κυρίες κόφτε το λαιμό σας να βρείτε λύση". (Επίσης δεν θέλουμε να μας "τσιμπήσετε" κι αυτό το σκάφος αν πάμε στη Μάλτα).4) On Sunday Mr Salvini accused the NGO of lying about the necessity to rescue the migrants saying that “their rubber dinghy had no problems”. “I would like you to be in front of a rubber dinghy with 50 people with children, including several very small ones, and say ‘There are no problems’,” said Alessandra Sciurba, Mediterranea spokeswoman, told the media.Αυτοί λένε: "κάτσε εσύ μπροστά από ένα φουσκωτό που ξεχυλίζει από ανθρώπους στην ανοιχτή θάλασσα και κάνε μετά τον μάγκα αν κοτάς" λένε πως ακολουθούν το δίκαιο της θάλασσας και των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων. Εσύ έχεις διαφορετικά στοιχεία;---------Επιτέλους, ας είμαστε ειλικρινεις: δεν μας ενδιαφέρει να μην σκοτώνονται και να μην πνίγονται άνθρωποι, μας ενδιαφέρει να μην είναι "δικό μας" πρόβλημα.
