Thirty two rescued people stuck aboard in Palermo as SeaWatch5 disembark vulnerable cases

Thirty two rescued people remained stuck aboard in Palermo as SeaWatch5 disembarked vulnerable cases.

Sea Watch International disclosed this as it said that
the #SeaWatch5 has docked in Palermo so that medical assistance can be provided to some of the rescued people and for the disembarkation of minors ordered by the competent court.

It said “All rescued people should be allowed to disembark after reaching a safe port, not being forced on an exhausting and useless 4-day journey to the assigned port of Ravenna. Partial disembarkation is inhumane and discriminatory. Get all the people ashore now.”

Few hours after the above message was shared, Sea Watch said that #SeaWatch5 disembarked vulnerable cases as ordered by the court. “Yet 32 rescued people remain stuck aboard in Palermo. Forcing these persons to sail another 1,000+ km to Ravenna is reckless, racist, illegal, and endangers lives. We brought them to safety—now let them stay.”

Giving an update:, it said: “Resistance works – all guests are allowed to disembark!

“We’re relieved but also angry: the political power plays at the expense of people on the move are cynical and inhumane.
We wish all our guests strength in their ongoing fight against Fortress Europe!”
