Louise Michel still detained in port
On Thursday our rescue ship MV Louise Michel entered the Sicilian port of #Pozzallo. 6 Survivors from a previous rescue were disembarked by a coastguard vessel.
Since then our ship has been blocked from leaving port under the so called Piantedosi decree.
The authorities accusation implies that we could have gone to the port of #Catania which would have taken us below our safety reserves of fuel.
We will not jeopardise the safety of the survivors on board, the crew and the ship, by ignoring navigational standards just to play Italys political games against sea rescue ships and people on the move.
Sea rescue is a human right.
A rescue is only finished once survivors have reached the closest port of safety.
Free Louise Michel.
Freedom of movement for all.
