On Saturday, December 02, the rescue ship Humanity 1 was detained in Crotone, southern Italy, after disembarking 200 people rescued from distress at sea, said SOS Humanity NGO.
The Italian authorities’ justifications for this blockade are based on a series of lies, which SOS Humanity can refute through its documentation of the events at sea, according to SOS Humanity.
In another context, 263 Bangladeshi migrants will return to their country after months of detention in Libya over illegal entry, announced the spokesperson of Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry Mohamed Rafiq Alama.
This comes after 143 Bangladeshi migrants were repatriated on a chartered flight following their release from a detention center in Tripoli on November 28. Another group of 110 people was repatriated on a charter flight on November 30.
