"On August 3 my brother Osman called me from #Libya. He said he would leave for Europe at night in a small boat with 25 other refugees. The boat did not make a very good impression on him but he really could not stay in Libya any longer. That was the last time I spoke with him."
"I was more and more desperate, because I feared he had drowned or had been taken to an detention center by the so-called Libyan coast guard. Then on August 20, I finally received a photo of him. It confirmed that Osman was brought on the vessel #Etienne. My brother is alive!"
"My relief has now given way to great concern. The refugees are still being held on the ship. I don‘t get any information about how my brother is doing. I am denied a
phone conversation with him. And I fear that the 27 people might get deported to Tunisia". #LetThemIn! #Etienne
"I wish that he can calmly build up an existence & gain a foothold in a free country. Please let my brother & the other 26 refugees disembark in #Malta, let them free! It is a matter of humanity to give all of them access to a safe place & to their right of asylum!"
#Etienne
