'Their continued prosecution represents a failure of political leadership & troubling contradiction of the values of justice, human rights & solidarity that Malta & the EU claim to uphold. We call for an immediate end to proceedings & for justice to prevail.' Ex Malta MEP, Cyrus Engerer #Freethe3

Last Saturday, on the 7th anniversary of the wrongful arrest of the #ElHiblu3, we demanded the charges be dropped. In Valletta, coalition members amplified our call: @kopinmalta.bsky.social JRS Malta, Repubblika, African Media Association Free the El Hiblu 3! timesofmalta.com/article/acti...

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!

On Saturday, it will be seven years since the El Hiblu 3 arrived in Malta in 2019. Join us to mark these seven years and condemn the continued criminalisation of the #ElHiblu3. Join us to say again: Drop the Charges! Free the 3! Full programme here: elhiblu3coalition.org/7YearsElHibl...

@refugeesinlibya.bsky.social on the #ElHiblu3 'I call them accused rescuers because the law now punishes rescue. It punishes courage when it is in black skins. If [they] had been European, they would have been celebrated. Instead, they stand trial...' www.refugeesinlibya.org/post/eu-law-...

After more than six years, another court hearing was adjourned today. Justice is again delayed and denied. The #ElHiblu3 have suffered enough. #FreeThe3 #DropTheCharges Join us back in court on 12 June.

Searching for Justice, Six Years On! Today marks the sixth anniversary of the arrival of the #ElHiblu3 in #Malta. They have endured 2,192 days of unjust criminalisation. It is high time to set Abdalla, Amara, and Kader free. Read our statement here: elhiblu3coalition.org/news/

Amara Kromah, Abdalla Bari & Abdul Kader: For 6 years, the #ElHiblu3 have faced unimaginable injustice in #Malta. For 6 years, we've called for their freedom & will continue to do so, like a broken record: Drop the charges, Free the Three! @elhiblu3coalition.org timesofmalta.com/article/it-l...

“I feel very frustrated and so helpless... I have been deprived of my youth,” said Kromah. Six years of injustice in #Malta. We continue to say: Drop the charges, free the #ElHiblu3! timesofmalta.com/article/it-l...

@amnesty.org on the #ElHiblu3 case: "Malta’s misuse of the criminal justice system to deter people from attempting to seek safety in Europe is unacceptable. This case represents everything that is wrong with EU institutions & members states’ migration policies..." www.amnesty.org/en/latest/pr...

President Emeritus Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca on her continued solidarity with Abdalla, Amara & Kader: "I will keep defending them until they are freed, and I will keep defending the rights of children wherever they come from". #Freethe3 #DroptheCharges www.independent.com.mt/articles/202...

Devastated and enraged, we joined with others after the hearing on Wednesday to condemn the 2,127 days of criminalisation that Amara, Abdalla, & Kader have endured. We stand firm in our commitment to them and to justice. #DroptheCharges #Freethe3

We are devastated that today the Maltese court denied an appeal and the El Hiblu 3 case will continue. We continue to stand with Abdalla, Amara & Kader, who are human rights defenders & should be free. Join us today at the Valletta Court at 12 to show your solidarity! #DropTheCharges #Freethe3
