🚨 Breaking News 🚨 ⚫ A tragic shipwreck off the coast of Sabratha, western Libya, this morning has caused the deaths of 18 people who were fleeing the horrors and death in Libya toward Europe. 🌊 The route to the so-called safety in Europe continues to kill because Europe refuses to grant safe pathways,because Europe continues to tighten its grip on the skin of the vulnerable, because Europe continues to fund militias and violent hands that commit crimes against humanity in Libya and Tunisia. 🖤 We send our condolences and strongest solidarity to the families of these comrades. ⚖️ And Europe will soon or later be held accountable, there is no escape from that.

Last Saturday, in the heart of Rome — at Piazza Vidoni — we, the survivors, stood on the Stage of Survivors and held our own Refugee Tribunal against the Italy–Libya Memorandum of Understanding. We did what the international institutions have refused to do for years. We put Giorgia Meloni, Matteo Piantedosi, Alfredo Mantovano, and Carlo Nordio on public trial — not with vengeance, but with truth, evidence, and witness. They were declared wanted for crimes against humanity — for their complicity in torture, enslavement, and mass killings of refugees and migrants in Libya and at sea. Our tribunal was not theatre. It was justice made visible. Because when international courts stay silent, the survivors must speak. When governments deny the crimes, we must show their faces. And when the world looks away, we must force it to look back. The Verdict After hearing the testimonies of survivors and the evidence of European complicity, the Refugee Tribunal found them GUILTY of crimes against humanity. As compensation for their crimes, we order them to: •Immediately suspend all support to Libyan criminal militias and suspend the Italy–Libya Memorandum of Understanding. •Issue humanitarian visas to Italy for all refugees and migrants who have suffered crimes against humanity in Libya. •Financially compensate all those who have suffered torture, enslavement, sexual violence, and inhuman treatment in Libyan detention. •Officially apologise for the harm caused to refugees and migrants — for the deaths at sea, for the slavery on land, for the silence that enabled it all. To all the survivors who gave witness: you are heard. You did not deserve this. You are strong. You deserve justice, protection, and dignity. Thank you for your bravery. Let this be the first step toward recognition — and toward ending the suffering of your brothers and sisters still in Libya and beyond. To the Italian people: This tribunal did not condemn you for the crimes of these individuals. But we remind you that these crimes have been committed in your name and with your money. We call on you to take responsibility — to listen to survivors, to confront the truth, and to stand against this inhuman policy. It is in your hands to stop the crimes being committed in Libya. And a good way to start is to shout with us: STOP – MEMORANDUM! STOP – MEMORANDUM! Those who were not with us must know: this was not the end. It was the beginning. The evidence is growing. The voices are multiplying. And soon, the world will see what Europe tried to bury — in videos, documents, and testimonies that we will make public. These officials remain wanted for crimes against humanity. They may walk free in Rome and Brussels, but their names are already written in history’s darkest chapter. And we — the survivors — are here to make sure they are never forgotten, and never forgiven. More is coming soon. Visual evidence. Witness accounts. The continuation of our struggle for justice. Until the Memorandum falls, and those responsible are held to account.
