🆘 ~58 people in distress in the Central Med!
We are in contact with ~58 people on a rubber boat in urgent distress ca. 40 miles north of Libya. They report water in the boat and are moving only very slowly. We alerted authorities 3 hours ago - an urgent intervention is needed!

The #ELHiblu3 are still not free. In fact, they need to return to court in #Malta tomorrow. Our full solidarity: Drop the charges! Free the 3!
