THIS TIME WE COME UNITED AS JUSTICE FLEET: Why giving Libyan militias the locations of people in danger is the EU's worst idea ever. / Repost from Sea Watch

On 16 December, this years last hearing in the case of Malta vs #ElHiblu3 took place. The hearing was of great weight as the defence presented their stance on the terrorism charges to the Court of Criminal Appeal.

⁨Thanks for the early Christmas present! Belpietro, editor of #Panorama, guilty of defamation and ordered to pay 10K in damages for calling NGOs “the new pirates” on the magazine’s cover. Let's reclaim public space from hate, lies, and make room for voices silenced by border violence.

It’s heartbreaking to witness the thousands of Sudanese dying in the desert on their way to safety. The world must establish safe pathways for those fleeing bloody wars and violence and open borders for everyone to travel freely.

World Cup-winning coach #JogiLöw takes a stand: “For me, it’s obvious: people should not be left to die in the Mediterranean because they are seeking refuge from war, violence, or poverty. You do not let people drown.” Be like Jogi Löw: Donate now! 👉 sos-humanity.org/spenden/spen...

Today, our Sea-Watch 5 rescued 34 people, including 10 minors. While this is a win against Fortress Europe, the 🇮🇹 government is once again trying to prevent us from saving lives by assigning us the port of la Spezia, far away from the rescue zone. We demand a closer port now.

❌ No way! We will not collaborate with anyone who uses violence against refugees and breaks human rights. As a result, we have suspended all operational communication with the Libyan authorities, in accordance with international law and together with the #JusticeFleet. 1/3

Europe marks Human Rights Day by blocking refugee rescue ship Humanity 1 detained in Italian port and Sea-Watch calls for closer port as European politicians mull ways to make the deportation of asylum seekers easier thecivilfleet.wordpress.com/2025/12/10/e...

NEW EPISODE: @msfsea.bsky.social’s Juan Matias Gil tells us how the Italian government made it impossible for the medical charity to use its Geo Barents rescue ship. He also tells us about MSF’s new rescue vessel, the Oyvon –and what happened on its first rescue mission.

We need a closer port now! Last night, our Aurora rescued 48 people after an alert from @alarmphone.bsky.social. Soon after, we assisted a second boat with 29 survivors, taken on board by the Italian coastguard. After the 2 cases, fuel is low & our assigned port in Augusta, Sicily, is far.

Now, due to financial constraints, @ifrc.org must end its mission onboard the Ocean Viking. We are preparing to return to sea with our own medical and protection teams, we need your support more than ever. You can be part of this lifesaving work by contributing to our mission.

For four years, SOS MEDITERRANEE and IFRC worked side by side to support people rescued from one of the world’s deadliest sea routes. This partnership managed to get people at risk to a place of safety.

Τους τελευταίους μήνες, δεκάδες άτομα που χρήζουν διεθνούς προστασίας δικάζονται μαζικά στην #Κρήτη με την κατηγορία της «διακίνησης». Σε πολλές περιπτώσεις, οι ποινές που επιβάλλονται είναι τεράστιες, ενώ οι νομοθετικές εγγυήσεις προστασίας των #προσφύγων αγνοούνται συστηματικά. ©️ Louise Truc (1/7)

24 humanitarians are on trial in Greece today, facing felony charges for saving lives. This is a disgrace. Humanitarian support defends people on the move and international law when the EU won’t. If this trial goes south, human rights are on the brink. @ec.europa.eu #DropTheCharges

Solidarity with @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social and all survivors of Libyan detention & violence. The transfer of El Hishri to the ICC is a crucial step toward justice. People on the move deserve truth, accountability, and safety. No more impunity.

NEW EPISODE: Diane Taylor, a journalist at the @theguardian.com, talks to us about Britain’s “one-in-one-out” deal with France, and about the British government’s new, even harsher asylum-seeker policies She also tells us about the refugees on hunger strike against their deportation to France

Italy blocked @soshumanity’s Humanity 1 for refusing to communicate with human rights abusers. Justice Fleet won’t work with actors pushing people back to Libya or attacking people on the move. @ItalyMFA_int, how about supporting human rights?

🔴Breaking: After rescuing 160 people in two rescues last week, our ship Humanity 1 has been provisionally detained and placed under investigation in Ortona. Why? Because we refused to communicate with the Libyan authorities. 1/3

🔴Breaking: Once again, people rescued from distress at sea are being denied their right to disembark quickly at a nearby port. The Italian authorities have assigned us #Ortona as a place of safety – 1,300 km and almost 5 days’ transit from the place of rescue. 1/2

After days full of bad weather, yesterday our aircrew was able to start monitoring the situation in the Mediterranean again. Once again, we documented an illegal interception by Libyan militias. These unlawful practices do not go unnoticed.

🔴Breaking: Our crew was able to rescue over 80 more people from an unseaworthy boat in distress today. Several people were suffering from burns caused by a mixture of fuel and salt water, seasickness, hypothermia and dehydration. 1/2

Hoy se celebra el Día del #Mediterráneo, un día para recordar la unión que este mar ha supuesto a lo largo de los tiempos, un puente entre pueblos y culturas. Seguiremos luchando por hacer de este mar un lugar lleno de vida, no de muerte. Ayúdanos a seguir. openarms.es/es/como-ayudar/dona

The Sea Punk I has returned to port in Augusta. Following the rescue of 31 people in distress at sea, whom we were able to bring safely ashore in Lampedusa, our fifth mission this year has come to an end.

🔴Breaking: Yesterday afternoon, our #Humanity1 crew brought the more than 70 survivors to the assigned place of safety, #Lampedusa, where they were transferred to an Italian Coast Guard Vessel close to the coast. We are now already on our way back to the area of operation. 1/4

What actually happens during the long winter nights when we're on rotation? Even if we don't know of any specific search and rescue case, our crew is on duty the entire time. Even at night. Working in shifts, they share the night watch and lookout duties.

🔴Breaking: After a distress call from Alarmphone, we were able to rescue > 70 people today – including women, children, and a baby – from an unseaworthy wooden boat. They had been at sea for over 24 hours in extremely bad weather conditions, with a broken engine and no life-saving equipment. 1/2

Italy attacks rescue organization Mediterranea Saving Humans for following maritime law! The first ship of the #JusticeFleet faces 60 days’ detention & a 10k fine for bringing rescued persons to land safely. 2 public prosecutor offices even ordered urgent arrival in port. shorturl.at/WB7mW 1/3

🚨 50 people safe on board the Louise Michel Earlier today, the Louise Michel was alerted by @alarmphone.bsky.social about several boats in distress in the Central Mediterranean. This afternoon, the crew spotted a small green rubber boat, dangerously overcrowded, with 50 people on board.

MSF to resume search-and-rescue operations in the central Mediterranean with new ship Meanwhile, 2025 refugee death toll in the area tops 1,000 following shipwreck off Libya, and Frontex boasts of 22% drop of irregular entries into the EU thecivilfleet.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/m...

At least 1.000 migrants killed in the Mediterranean in 2025, reports IOM: www.iom.int/news/iom-spo... But #Frontex is happy with "irregular crossings fall 22% in the first 10 months" (mostly at land borders): www.frontex.europa.eu/media-centre...

"Libya was urged at a U.N. meeting on Tuesday to close detention centres where rights groups say *people* have been tortured, abused and sometimes killed. Multiple states including Britain, Spain, Norway and Sierra Leone raised concerns..." www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Last Saturday morning, our crew found a fiberglass boat in distress with 47 people on board. @alarmphone.bsky.social had previously reported the boat. When our crew arrived, the boat was already taking on water, and the people had no life jackets.
