Five Eritrean citizens have filed a lawsuit in the civil court in Rome against Italian authorities for what they claim was an illegitimate pushback to Libya on July 2, 2018.
Five Eritrean citizens, with the support of the Association for Juridical Studies on Immigration (ASGI) and Amnesty International Italia, have filed a suit with the civil court in Rome against Italian authorities, the private company Augusta Offshore and the skipper of one of its vessels, the Asso Ventinove.
According to a statement published on February 12 by ASGI, the plaintiffs claim that on July 2, 2018 they were pushed back to Libya by the ship Asso Ventinove run by Augusta Offshore as part of operations coordinated by Italian authorities in collaboration with the so-called Libyan coast guard.
