Rome, 29 September (LaPresse) – ‘Yesterday, from our Seabird, we saw a person drown in the Mediterranean. The so-called Libyan coast guard, chasing a dinghy to carry out an illegal repatriation, caused several people to fall into the water.’ This was written in a note by the NGO “Sea Watch”. "Instead of rescuing them, they abandoned them. The survivors, in a state of panic, boarded the merchant ship Maridive to find help, but were handed over by the crew to the Libyan militias,‘ the statement continued. ’Those who did not die at sea were taken back to Libyan camps, where torture, violence and harassment await them."
