After #Italy said it would no longer receive those rescued at sea, even🇪🇺#opSOPHIA stopped to operate. De-facto since last July rescue ops were not carried out by #opSOPHIA: only🛩️+ closer coordination with #Libya & a lot of pictures @EUNAVFORMED_OHQ
Closing the central mediterranean - without improving humanitarian assistance & protection to those in need - will lead to more people drowning & suffocating to reach safety. Read the comment below. It's real!
THREAD/ During the past two weeks I interviewed people who had fled Libya and crossed the border into Tunisia, and then I flew to Berlin for meetings with senior officials and MPs. Here my take on the current situation in Libya and the central Med. 1/14
People we met in Tunisia confirmed dramatic situation in detention centres in Libya. The story of a new-born baby girl returned by Libyan Coast Guard to Libya, who spent her life in a det centre & died there when 8-months old, will be a thorn in my heart for a long time. 2/14
Detention centres are holding almost only people intercepted at sea by EU-backed Libyan Coast Guard. If EU states want to stop being complicit in beatings & rapes of women, men & children, then must require Libya to close detention centres. channel4.com/news/torture-a… 3/14
