As they meet in #Brussels, #EUCO leaders should not forget that they are talking about human lives. Leaving people to die at sea, denying a safe port to disembark or sending them back to arbitrary detention and violence in #Libya is not humane.
EU policies have led to a criminalization of migration, forcing people onto different and more dangerous routes. They have also emboldened countries to reproduce harsh EU border control tactics.
MSF’s Karline Kleijer "The smear campaign against NGO ships has to stop. Our only intention is to save lives at sea." Already in 2018, more than 500 people have drowned in attempting the perilous journey across the Central Mediterranean on unseaworthy dinghies.
Limited search and rescue capacity in #Mediterranean is reduced even further with #Aquarius obliged to sail Spain to disembark #refugees and #migrants rescued at sea rather than nearest safe port.

La Audiencia Nacional sentencia que las campañas electorales del PP de Valencia en 2007 y 2008 se financiaron de "manera tan irregular que fue delictiva". Y aún queda Gürtel para rato... Pieza de @Gabrielopev en #La2n
Reading the agreement now. We support diplomacy and peaceful solutions. But there is no agreement on nuclear disarmament and this all looked more like a big welcome party to the nuclear-armed club. #nuclearban#singaporesummit#TrumpKimSummit
Comienza el juicio militar de la menor palestina Ahed Tamimi. Y la situación de los 38.000 solicitantes de asilo africanos, a los que Israel sólo da dos opciones: o cárcel o desterrados a Ruanda. Pieza de José María Coto en #la2n@josemariacoto @FreeAhedATamimi
Aunque cueste creerlo, en África hay gobernantes excelentes, pero no son fáciles de encontrar. Y eso hace el premio Mo Ibrahim. Este año se lo han dado a la expresidenta de Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Pieza de Desiree Ndjambo en #la2n@desireendjambo@Mo_IbrahimFdn
Let's talk about why a #nuclearban is crucial:
On August 6, 1945, a 13-kiloton atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, Japan.
Resulting in:
100,000–140,000 killed (that year*)
13 sq km destroyed
270 out of 300 doctors killed or injured
1,654 out of 1,780 nurses killed or injured

Hoy en muchos lugares de #Palestina no se podía respirar. En la carcasa de los gases lacrimógenos que tira #Israel pone "Made in #USA". Por si alguien se sigue preguntando el porqué de la decisión de #Trump. https://t.co/o9a0Ytqxj4
