Seenotrettungsorganisationen unterstützen durch ihre Missionen im Mittelmeer Schlepperbanden, die an den gefährlichen Überfahrten verdienen, erklärte Frontex-Chef Fabrice Leggeri im Interwiew mit der Zeitung „DIE WELT“ am 27. Februar 2017.
During the interception the migrants’ boat capsized. The survivors witnessed that the Marine Royal did not rescue all passengers, but only 5 of the 8. The Marine Royal then left the three dead bodies behind.
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.
Das Alarm Phone fordert den umgehenden Transport der auf der griechischen Insel Farmakonisi gestrandeten Flüchtenden. Die Reisenden, die auf der Insel festsitzen, sind unmenschlichen Bedingungen ausgesetzt.
"Wir erleben viel Leid und Verzweiflung. Gleichzeitig werden wir jedoch angespornt und inspiriert durch den hartnäckigen Willen und die unglaubliche Entschiedenheit, das Meer zu überqueren und zu den erwünschten Orten innerhalb Europas zu gelangen."
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
We informed authorities in #Italy and #Malta about a boat in severe weather conditions in the Central Mediterranean. Extreme wind makes it impossible to communicate with them, so we do not know their position. They are repeatedly calling for help!
🆘 26 people in distress in the Central Med: We are in contact with a boat in the #Maltese search and rescue zone. The people report water is entering their boat. They urgently need rescue and, at the same time, fear an interception to #Libya. Rescue now, no interception!
🆘 Boat on distress close to #Sfax, #Tunisia! 49 people incl. 3 children are on board. They say that their boat is sinking. We have tried to contact the Tunisian authorities but they fail to respond and to cooperate. We call on them to rescue the people before it is too late!
