Ganesh sea watch 3 sailed to lampedusa after 2 weeks of Waiting In Vain and despite a recent ban the captain says some of the migrants were suicidal and others threatened to go on hunger strike. And thats just me what is important in the end is that we rescued these 53 people and brought them to a safe harbor thats 53 people who dont have to go back to some torture camp in
libya but italian Interior Minister manto servian he called her a criminal now she wants to sue him for defamation but she faces likely prosecution herself on charges of being an accessory to illegal migration a hearing is planned for next week food in piling in case of an indictment which we dont expect i will of course turn myself in because i expect to be acquitted if it comes to that top on National Maritime experts suggest another possible outcome entering the harbor could amount to a violation of italian law she had to move. That she should have kept waiting she could have tried to get other harbors to open up and continue to ask for help from italian authorities. Other rescue boats of have the same problem the german Rescue Ship Island kirti saved 65 people off the libyan coast on friday its also seeking safe harbor.

All of them are very experienced it some of them are in
bad conditions you so you can see that there has been an hour of a place in the last month or sometimes years the rescue we did was approximately 30 miles from the libyan coastline so we had to and from the libyan coast guard and replied. That they could offer assist a fart in the area which is west of tripoli this by future of the Geneva Convention really refutes this and lampedusa is the next safe port for us so we just follow the maritime law and went to the next part. We went the whole night to lampedusa now we are at the coast this morning we had the Goddess Deal On Board made a check up of the people and informed us about that the tradeoff felt the need and now we are waiting for further instructions we know its a political game and we know what what happened to to to see whats. Fun now we
just wanted to make sure the people are safe as far as possible and we know that the risk is has become more and more criminalized. But theres nothing we can do is send for me the chairman of the iraqis the foreign office. To to wait for their instructions.

a speech that theyve set up speakers have taken the stage today shortly before we joined the broadcast there were a number of there was a migrant who shared his story other Migrant Workers from prominent berlin. Charities sharing the stories of migrants and the challenges they faced in coming to europe there was also a very moving speech by a doctor who was in libya working on some of the working at some of the Migrant Centers and talking about the kind of difficulties that migrants face face to face there so thats Whats Going On right now and they plan to march on or around the city shortly theres been a lot of solidarity expressed here in germany for captain couple. What has struck such a chord with the situation the story. I think seeing that one woman was sort of a lot of people here tell me that they felt she was left alone she was left to deal with what they called are the failures of politicians that someone who in and from
good they say is there to save people is put in that situation i think this really struck a chord but a lot of people also said that you know its not just about a couple of the cases shes just one case and she represents sort of the challenges that many humanitarian workers face theyre not just here for her theyre here to talk about the what they call the criminalization of humanitarian workers in general and they say that politicians should do more in that sense speaking of politicians germanys Interior Minister haas if tweeted earlier today that germany was ready to take in some of those rescue just part of the European Solidarity solution but what can the German Government really do for the migrants who are currently at sea. So the workers here say that one thing that the migrants what the protesters here says that the German Government needs to work more on the causes that lead these people to leave their countries and flee to come to europe
in the 1st place whether its working to establish rule of law in the countries that the migrants are are coming from but also that you know agreeing to take on the migrants have a little bit to me that they should act earlier that the ministry that into your ministry and germany should have acted earlier and not left the migrants in because of color the kids had for almost 2 weeks all right as i am for him thanks so much for your.
