"We could no longer stand by and watch people disappearing in the Mediterranean mass grave."
On Sunday we mark the 3rd anniversary of the seizure of the rescue ship, #Iuventa.
We calls on Italy's prosecutor to drop the absurd investigation against them.

Three years ago, the #Iuventa a ship that’s rescued 14,000+ people, was seized by Italian authorities & her crew put under investigation.
“Everything that is good & everything that is wrong with humanity comes together in 33m of steel.” @titusmolkenbur
The #Iuventa crew could face 20 years in jail if found guilty of aiding illegal immigration into Italy
But a computerized reconstruction by @ForensicArchi, demonstrates the allegations by Italian authorities are baseless
The #Iuventa10 WERE saving lives.
“If someone had told me I would be sent back to Libya, I would have preferred to drown at sea,” says one asylum-seeker rescued by the #Iuventa10
Ystdy, we marked 3 years since the #Iuventa was seized.
Today, @amnesty launch a global solidarity campaign

What is happening to the #Iuventa & her crew is being mirrored around the world: a policy of criminalising acts of solidarity by individuals or organisations. @seawatch_intl @MSF_Sea @CaroRackete @LoanTorondel @hrw @ACLU @AOC @libertyhq @calaisolidarity newsweek.com/you-can-now-go…
