Louise Michel, an organisation that aims to combine sea rescue with the principles of feminism, anti-racism and anti-fascism is back at sea.
The organisation shared information about its return to the sea on its X handle @MVLouiseMichel.
Writing under the heading ‘The Louise Michel is back at sea’ the organisation said: “Yesterday evening the Louise Michel departed from Sicily towards the Central Mediterranean. Our crew found a wooden boat with 20-30 people on it and stayed until #guardiadifinanza za took over and brought everyone safely to #Lampedusa.
On January 21, Louise Michel announced: “Yesterday, shortly before sunset, the #LouiseMichel spotted a wooden boat with 38 people onboard. Our crew was searching for a boat having overheard an alert by a Frontex aircraft. Whether this is the same boat or not we cannot say.”
