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.

Today, we marked the 7th year since the arrival & arrest of the #ElHiblu3 in Malta. Over 7 hours, we marked the 7 years that the #ElHiblu3 have been criminalised, 7 years that have been stolen from them.
We demand again that the charges be dropped & that our friends be freed!
We have been informed by relatives that 56 people who left #Sfax in #Tunisia this morning are at severe risk at sea because of bad weather. We urge authorities to search for the boat and rescue them to a safe place!
Devastating loss of life near #Crete: at least 22 people who left #Libya died on their way towards #Europe. They were over 6 days at sea - adrift, without food or water. Only 26 people survived. We mourn their death – and send strength & solidarity to the survivors & relatives!
