What about human rights?
Today, August 20th 2019, marks the 19th day since the rescue ship Open Arms is waiting for an authorization to unload 109 people in the port of Lampedusa, Italy. The Open Arms is the boat from the Spanish NGO of the same name that is rescuing migrants from death in the Mediterranean. The people onboard are suffering strong problems of physical and mental health and some of them are even trying to jump off the ship to reach the coast by swimming. This is the result of the racist policies of the Italian minister Matteo Salvini and the connivance of the European Union.
