You stand the differences. And the similarities of cultures of. Aljazeera. Thousands of refugees in europe rely on aid workers for essential help but a growing number of volunteers are facing arrest and prosecution as countries discourage people seeking asylum i feel me ok imo it could be allowed to they will hear about the impact of legal action against humanitarians and how aid groups are fighting to keep protecting the vulnerable in your thoughts through twitter and you tube. The recent arrest of a german boat captain who brought 40 shipwrecked refugees into an italian port has highlighted the legal risks humanitarians across europe face are providing help to people fleeing war and prosecution carola record today was held after her bessel sea watch 3 collided with a Border Patrol boat while disregarding orders not to dock. She was put under house arrest but a judge later ruled she should be freed ending further investigation but the watch organization welcomed the ruling. That. Son is sick or cinematic to view a humanitarian ship carrying people rescued at sea and which just wants to bring them safely to a safe harbor as the biggest and most urgent threat to security and public order makes this country look ridiculous i would therefore say that at least yesterdays ruling reestablishes a little order with respect to the hierarchy of norms and also raised the dignity of this country yet the enormous schools of other age volunteers have also been arrested or prosecuted in 2018 ceremony dini was arrested by greek police while working for Emergency Response Center International she was charged with people smuggling Money Laundering and espionage on his own bell while the case against her remains open sara is just one of 104 humanitarians in europe who were investigated or prosecuted in connection with their work in 20 team thats according to the Research Social platform on migration asylum joining us to discuss this sean buying day hes a rescue coordinator who has worked on both land and Sea Operations to save and support refugees hes in the irish city of coal. Is founder of Team Humanity a Danish Organization providing aid to refugees in greece he joins us from los force and he said that p. S. G. Is a researcher at amnesty internationals Europe Office she joins us from london good to have you here to tell this story talking about stories shown you are in the headlines right now so you have been in the headlines and you continue to be in the headlines well get to your stories but i want the audience to know what it is that youve done to warrant this headline in the Irish Times Irish charity work a charge with Human Trafficking released on bail heres your mom holding up your University Graduation picture there sure what she work what if youve been out to this lady in so much trouble. Right. And i think its really important start off by saying that my work isnt that unique it are you i went having been trained in search and rescue being a rescue diver and having some experience in that line of work i went after my masters studies to lead us really just a system where i could with the search and rescue operations that are still. Being undertaken and although theres been a decline in numbers of crossings into into europe there has been a rise in the percentage of deaths occurring during that transit and so it was i felt was important to try and lend some assistance if i could so you went to help and now youre thinking a prison sentence john those 2 dots right so for the better part of 3 months i had been working on this search and rescue vessels and on the shoreline as an Emergency Responder and then in 2018 in january began taking over the coordination role of search and rescue with the same organization Sarah Martini was in r. C. I. And i continued coordination wanted to expand the kind of operations that we did particularly with the civilian search and rescue organizations. Essentially what we did was nightly search and rescue missions along with managing a clinic for emergency cases in one of the primary refugee camps in europe called moria. And then we seem to we were arrested in february. The police came in around 2 30 in the morning we were at the shoreline undertaking a rescue mission. And we were detained for a number of days and then we were at least without any charge or really any accusations being built after that investigation or premises. And then we continued working as normal cooperating with the authorities and there wasnt until august i had returned back to the island from a brief visit for a family tragedy back in ireland. And week later we were arrested again. But this time we were in prison for 3 and a half months and we were charged with a number of heinous crimes as you alluded to that is illegally assisting aliens into greece. Money laundering espionage and being part of Court Organization all of which could land us if were found guilty 25 years in prison. And because you spent more than 100 days in a greek jail there was an outpouring of support and protest online and on the streets i wanted to share with our audience in case they worked a 1000000 will but this looked like so this was outside of the embassy in greece in dublin this is in 20000 and solidarity with you and your colleagues you can see people gathered there and posted online by and standing here there are sharing their support this is for humanitarians out there for a rally norm ransack said we went to uni was on binder hes carrying hes always tried to make a difference for the better and you can see rescue the rescuers there your case of course is not the only one so i wanted to share this tweet for you said this is. Healthy what house who says salama dean runs team Humanities Center for women and children hes dedicated his life to helping refugees see a bit of a celebrity there are people wanting to pose with you because of the work youre doing salaam but something similar happened to you talk to us about what inspired you to do this work in the 1st place so. I saw a picture thats what it should be a picture of on court in 2015. Busy saw it on the 3rd september and then. I write a list goes on the 6 of them on my birthday. And i gain just something i never seen in my life. I went to the shores of. Its a city in lesbos and what i saw was 3 boats coming to the shore and there was nobody to help it was no un it was the police it was the coast guard no one. Jumped into the water to help one boat in the 2nd boat had to swim 100 metre to bring the boat because they didnt stop and the 3rd boat was like one kilometer away and all day what i saw. Made me actually sad and angry i didnt know what to do i was alone there for that week i went there. I saw a lot of drugs i saw people died in front of children drowning so i went that far then 13 days after i arrived back on this bus with 30 people and a star theyre going to station humanity and what we did was every single day and night without sleeping we were risking people in the sea so now im going to show people what this looks like because those pictures tell so much the same way that when you saw a picture. I want people to see what youre actually doing we feel calling Team Humanity so tell us about this shot what is happening here. There was a bolt on the way the shores got stuck we the weather was not so good we went swimming. And then there would brought the bowl back but the boat was full with water that explicitly destroyed was that in the back of the boat and on the back of the boat where the engine is its full with water there. And as you see the child is crying and screaming because. The child thought they were. Drowning and then another shot had different day different this is a different day this was the beginning it was beginning to the september month there was a boat with 230. 00 people arrived to the shore and they couldnt get down and we had to yes you see. You have one foot on the big rock and another foot on the boat to get them there is a small baby gate as you see that didnt even have live jackets and that boat is a dangerous boat with the sea in the middle of the sea a body nobody could help any so what is extraordinary about this is the shown and selema talking about the volunteering what that are and the work theyre doing to help refugees and migrants who are in dire circumstances and may well be saving lives that saving lives why i didnt salaam face a criminal charge charges why is shown waiting to go on trial its hard to imagine what they did that was wrong can you explain the framework in europe that means that they can actually face charges and go to prison thats a possibility. They need to say nothing wrong in fact i think their humanity shines through their lovely people and the exact they want the. Summary done to do the problem is that the. European leaders have focused in the last few years in preventing iraq evils and. Efforts to prevent their rivals they have started to look for all the possible ways to avoid people seeking protection and by the life of opportunities for each other about and they realize that. They quote the old. Bloke our rivals through blocking rescues and. Organizations photo and he is. Has created the problem because they are competing. To rescue people i see. People like. And. Were leaving out but those International Obligations but states have focused on national law was we to make it a crime to cross border irregularly and so many of the. Key is individuals organizations to be. Investigated and prosecuted for crimes that have to do with crossing a border irregularly so generally its a regular migration but some cases there are some real challenges like facilitate trafficking and in the case that you where. Shall we know the beginning in that case of the seawall cop then also you know shes been accused of trying to see a war both. Territorial waters in the process of bringing people to safety so states have really using now. Of. Procedure and criminal conduct to try to heat. Your carrier and anything you mention carola record his case and there were so much comment about that on line this is i mean who says carolus simply enforce human rights at sea and this push towards terminal izing heroes and helpers across europe and Northern Africa that help refugees and Asylum Seekers is one we all have to watch and call out for and that comment is one that is what elicited a response from someone who sent us a video comment to talk to us about the push and the poor of what forces refugees onto foreign shores this is solomon heres what she told the story. As an artist and an activist ive been campaigning for safer routes for migration particularly for women because theyre more vulnerable and i think we have to remember that this is a e. U. Wide problem its not just italy humanitarians are being stopped from rescuing people at sea and i also think we shouldnt forget the reasons why people are leaving their home. For example the work that im doing with women in the communities in the u. K. They speak about rocket launching pads behind their houses you know crossing Different Countries being blocked at the border and held there weve seen pictures of how migrants are being treated. By by people you know trying to keep them out. So i could see you nodding there as i was talking has this affected the numbers of people were seeing. The question how the numbers of people seeking asylum been affected by these reports of people like you and like sean who are being prosecuted. No let me explain you one thing there is people who doesnt was in danger in their countries and they cant stay there they have to run and whats happening is the politicians think if they stop this. Humanitarian work what we do in the sea and let them draw on and i think the refugees are going to be afraid to come and thats wrong because their vision doesnt have other solution than come over to europe and take that risk no one want to take that risk the children if they dont have to. And this is the problem we have is what were facing that they are. They are criminalizing criminalizing the humanitarian work that we provide and let them die in the sea how can you let children die and dont help them i can understand that you have a child driving in front of you course im going to help them even if they want to give me a life sentence for that course im going to jump into the water and rescue that child and ive seen that they seen shawns work ive been actually. I witnessed shawns work and some of these were their hugos should be in jail for for risking people for saving lives come on that means if the person. Walk in the street somewhere in london and falls down and let that person die without giving 1st aid. Thats good that you give the 1st they will sit in jail for that. And i want to bring you into the conversation professed i want our audience to hear some of the politicians who actually think it is a good idea that. The not anybody should be out to rescue refugees all migrants who are at sea and got into trouble this is the interior minister of italy speaking here on his facebook account have a listen to him. You have used ok you go bad enough to these i saw that the german governments wrote me a letter today asking to reopen the ports and to let all the migrants disembark no no no absolutely not and i think i can say its on your behalf there is a german ship thats breaking the italian laws for the umpteenth time like it on arts there are some laws voted by the italian parliaments that represents 60000000 italians theyre full on what grounds private ships managed by private companies decide how to organize Human Trafficking and decide how and when to break laws see borders and land borders are the same if you mind me it could make one so that is the italian interior minister a minister salvini have a look at this headline this is fresh from this week he has decided to close the largest migrant camp in you have what is this doing to the population of people who feel they have to they have to get to you sean what hes saying well i completely appreciate what selma. Was able to speak about in her video and what salam just mentioned is this idea that its actually a wider european phenomenon right so if you take so long as case in my case and the sea watch case you can see just individual occurrences but if you step back and look at the wider scenario across europe you can see that theres a 158 people being prosecuted for some kind of humanitarian assistance and thats across the union and its really important to kind of bring it to that level and ask why is that happening as it was alluded to this this push fucked over the whole factor has been reading the ferias in in this topic so as i said is the idea that because search and rescuers are in the sea and they provide lifesaving services. They in some way exacerbate or promote smuggling which of course. Is being framed as incredibly dangerous and bad and in many cases smuggling is dangerous however to really tease out the question of why why is it being framed like that why are humanitarian human planetariums being blamed for this the idea being that what were promoting because were saving lives is is absurd what is essentially being said is if we dont save lives we are in some way assisting or if we shouldnt be saving lives because it would hinder the flow of migrants and thats a disaster of a policy at least i want to share with you the thoughts of someone on you tube who is writing to us live who has an idea for a solution to this is god in the bay flores who says aid workers face very domestic laws treated as humanitarians and 100 and human smugglers in another they need International Designation as an aid worker your thoughts on that what that actually help. Its an interesting idea but what the reason the. Frame for protecting human rights defend their ease a separation already pasta but they generally assembly which. Oblige a state to ensure that their ease in the neighboring what is called that enabling and vironment there so that the people who protect human rights can operate to safety and actually protected by the lol and facilitate the. Helpful actions that cease to all of us in society now. The European Union has adopted a very. Sort of unfair approach to. Sound International Standards it. Requests for example south american states and to protect human rights defenders in south america but then when it comes to europe but its doing quite a different thing so i think that we need to bring those International Standards back to europe and theyre sure that our leaders speak about these people in the way they should be treated as human rights defenders who need to continue doing their job and they are in fact in most cases doing something well thore these or should be doing so let me do something very special for us earlier on today you took your camera and you walked around to manatees so that we could see the wood think you and your coworkers actually doing on the ground only i want of less boss i just want to take a little moment to have a look at that. I learned. One side to this rounds here. Would build it. As a used playground. Bracelet. This is a Wooden Center as you see. Your the men can be there to enjoy themselves do whatever they want going to women here is easy. Watching movies listening to music. If you hadnt have been acquitted he would not have been him today to be on this show to show us that he had to do the what you will doing and now you tend to typos using the law to try and fight back can you explain how getting it you see ive seen a lot of bad things i see children drawn in front of me. Very 4 children a mother father with my own hands. We couldnt save them all but what saved. They got a new life your chance. When they accused me so Human Trafficking arrested me in the middle of the night the sea well i was trying to say humans from drowning. That destroyed me part of me in some ways because i didnt understand i thought we all humans helping other humans. I dont know which. For pitting. For saving human lives for saving childrens lives i dont understand so im willing a very final part of this program and this is so important im going to push in the European Court of human rights you arent telling that because. Im going to accusing greece for what they did to me. Suing them for what they did to me to destroy 2 years of my life and. To make a huge. Example of this of the situation so all the volunteers who writes the centers are going to get through all these problems what ive been doing are we are going to be sure theres going to be following your call case keep us up to date with that and and showing for you youre waiting to see what would happen if your trial what are your lawyers telling you how do you feel. I just wanted to quickly say something. About you know pushing back and using strategic litigation to kind of promote the fact that humanitarian workers children if i do it in a sentence are right at the end of the show go ahead if its illegal to be in europe without necessary documents because weve secured as the border and its impossible to receive International Protection without being in the country and the only way that people can actually seek asylum here in europe is to undertake a dangerous journey so take us to accuse humanitarian work as being the pull factor is in is completely wrong it is the legal basis underpinning that you can security right anaemic he said the major cases on the stream if not in court thank you so much. And lisa for being with us mini cab ameena here at the top of last words politicians have been stoking fear and scapegoating refugees from time immemorial this pattern a cyclical and like time immemorial they brandish their legal swords to threaten those that protect human life this conversation will continue online at 8 a street thanks for watching and you can i was seen.
