Following accounts given by the survivors, why was a rescue operation not immediately started by the Turkish Coast Guard after it first arrived on scene at the GPS location?
We ask for that in order to respect the dignity of the victims/survivors but also to maintain dignity ourselves, so that we can create a community and society in which the privacy and dignity of all people are valued and respected.

Alarm Phone Press Release, 5th of August 2015 Distress at sea and endangered lives due to coastguard actions? Evidence shows attacks on migrant boats in the Aegean Sea where engines were removed and boats punctured by coastguards
🆘 Where are they? 31 people missing at sea since Friday evening.
We have informed authorities but do not have a clear location of the boat. We fear another invisible #shipwreck in the central Mediterranean. We stand with the relatives and demand #SafePassage!
We alerted authorities more than 10 hours ago about 37 people in distress. They departed from Zuwara, #Libya. We do not know what has happened to the group. We are worried for their safety and urge authorities to search for them NOW!
The group tell us there are 26 children and a pregnant woman with them. They are soaked from water entering the boat, and are freezing cold. They need urgent medical assistance. Authorities have been informed: assist them now!
