Today, the #Elhiblu3 have to return to the court in #Valletta, #Malta. They stand accused of several crimes, including terrorism, for protesting the forced push-back of over 100 people to #Libya after the merchant vessel #Elhiblu1 rescued them in the Mediterranean Sea. 1/6 
We call on the court in Malta to drop all charges – the three accused are not only innocent, they are heroes for preventing a push-back to a warzone in Libya and to torture camps! Free the #ElHiblu3! 2/6
The court hearing has now ended and there still is no development in the trial of the #Elhiblu3. Once more, the three will have to wait and wait for any movement in their case, with criminal accusations hanging over them. 3/6 elhiblu3.info
Al via la campagna internazionale di solidarietà Free #ElHiblu3! 3 giovani sono accusati di vari reati dopo essersi opposti al respingimento in #Libya di 108 migranti. #Malta, ritira le accuse! Protestare contro respingimenti illegali non è un crimine!

Esattamente un anno fa, le autorità europee ordinarono alla nave mercantile El Hiblu 1 di riportare 108 naufraghi in #Libia, dove avevano subito prigionia, torture e stupri. Insieme, i migranti si opposero al loro respingimento e riuscirono a sbarcare a #Malta.
Nessuno rimase ferito durante la protesta, e non ci furono danni materiali. I migranti vennero pubblicamente descritti come ‘pirati’ e ‘terroristi’, ma quando i militari maltesi salirono a bordo trovarono solo persone in fuga dalle atrocità della #Libia ed in cerca di protezione.
Today we launch the Free #ElHiblu3 campaign! 3 teenagers are accused of several crimes, incl. terrorism, for protesting the return of 108 migrants to inhumane conditions in #Libya. #Malta drop all charges! Resisting illegal #push-backs is not a crime!

Exactly one year ago, European authorities ordered the El Hiblu 1 merchant vessel to push 108 rescued people back to #Libya, a place where they had experienced imprisonment, torture, and rape. Collectively, the migrants resisted their return and eventually disembarked in #Malta.
During the protest, nobody was injured, and nothing was damaged. In public, the 108 migrants were described as ‘pirates’ and ‘terrorists’ but when the Maltese military stormed the vessel, they only met humans who had fled cruelty in #Libya and needed protection.
