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
🆘 55 people in distress at sea near #Sicily! The group is adrift and reports water in the boat. Italian authorities told us that an operation was ongoing for many hours already. Still, no rescue is in sight! We urge the authorities to send rescue without delay!
While dozens of people are missing in the central #Mediterranean, Italy assaults the rescue community, once again. Our full solidarity with Sea-Watch and the #Aurora! We will prevail!
🆘️ from 7 people stuck & in urgent need of medical assistance in the forest on the #Greek side of the #Evros river!
We are in contact with relatives of the group, which we did not reach so far. @HellenicPolice is alerted & informed that the group cannot continue their journey.
