ARD: "Man kann von Mord reden"

“Seit Oktober 2015 betreiben Freiwillige aus Europa, Tunesien und Marokko das Projekt “Watch the Med Alarm-Phone” – jeden Tag, rund um die Uhr ist die Hotline für Flüchtlinge in Seenot erreichbar. Die Helfer setzen sich bei einem Notruf mit den Küstenwachen in Verbindung. Doch diese würden nicht immer helfen, so Alarm-Phone-Aktivist Maurice Stierl. Es handele sich nicht nur um unterlassene Hilfeleistung. “Man kann sogar auch von Mord reden.”

🆘 40 people are drifting between #Crete, #Egypt for hours. Authorities & merchant vessels are informed about the situation. Despite a storm with over 2m waves is predicted, #JRCCCairo said they will not send out a boat to rescue the group! Rescue and safe passage is needed now!

🆘 45 people on their way to #Crete calling for help. The group reports that water is coming into the boat. We urged #JRCC Cairo and @HCoastGuard repeatedly to launch a rescue operation, but so far nobody arrived. The people are desperate and exhausted. Rescue is needed NOW!

A relative informed us that his brother was forced back to #Libya by Libyan military. MRCC Rome told us that RCC #Malta was in charge of this case. The boat was far north in Maltese SAR - we condemn this violent #Pushback and demand answers!
