SOS Humanity – saving lives at sea

Maritime rescue in crisis – save our operations!

[SOS Humanity (international) @soshumanity_en]

🚨 Urgent! Our rescue operations are at risk – we need all the support we can get.

It’s serious: we are still short of around 2 million euros this year to ensure the continued operation of our rescue ship Humanity 1 in the second half of the year. 1/4

This landmark trial is a crucial step towards accountability. But justice will only be complete when the entire system of abuse is dismantled, survivors' rights are upheld, and no one is forced back into violence and arbitrary detention ever again.

The International Criminal Court is moving forward with a trial into crimes against humanity in Libya’s detention system. This breakthrough, supported by Justice Fleet members #ECCHR & #RefugeesinLibya, must pave the way to scrutinize European responsibility for these crimes.

Testimonies from survivors rescued by Justice Fleet ships reveal Libya’s persistent system of detention, torture, and exploitation, while the EU and its member states continue supporting actors who illegally intercept and return people to this cycle of abuse.

No child should have to spend their first days of life fleeing across the Central Mediterranean. Last Friday, Humanity 1 rescued twelve people from distress at sea – including a baby just two days old, who had been born in Libya without medical assistance shortly beforehand. 1/4

Everyone is now safely ashore. We wish this little person, and everyone rescued, a brighter future – with the safety and stability that every person deserves. 3/4

6 UN experts warned Italy in a letter on 6 July that the proposed "naval blockade" bill may violate international human rights and refugee law. People crossing the Central Mediterranean already risk their lives to reach safety. This bill would make sea rescue even harder.

We, alongside 30 other human rights organisations, call on the EU to urgently end their shameful cooperation with Libyan authorities on migration control.
People on the move must endure terrible abuses by the same Libyan actors that the European governments are supporting.

A two-day-old child should not have to spend its first days of life fleeing across the Mediterranean.

🔴 This morning, our crew received a distress call from #Alarmphone. Shortly afterward, the Humanity 1 spotted the people in distress. On board were twelve people, including six women, six minors, and a baby just two days old.

Even though they have just been rescued, they will have to spend many more days at sea, as the Humanity 1 has been assigned Naples as a place of safety – nearly 800 kilometres away. This once again shows who pays the price for Europe’s closed-door policy.

Today, 46 human rights and humanitarian organizations call on the European Commission and EU member states to stop funding abusive migration control activities and put human rights at the centre of migration cooperation.

Three years ago today, the EU-Tunisia Memorandum of Understanding was signed. Since then, the EU has allocated millions of euros to migration control in Tunisia despite mounting evidence of serious human rights violations associated with EU support.
