After 13 days on the sea, the vessel of German NGO Sea Watch is still waiting for the Italian authorities’ permission to disembark 42 people rescued in Libyan waters on 12 June. The Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini accused Sea Watch to facilitate illegal migration because of its refusal to take people back to Tripoli. In fact, on 12 June the humanitarian vessel received the directive from Tripoli’s Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre to disembark the migrants in the city’s port, but the captain of the vessel refused considering that Libya is not a “safe place”. On 24 June the European Court of Human Rights answered to Sea Watch’s solicitation asking Italian authorities for information about the issue. Meanwhile, the Italian Interior Ministry’s website registered 895 new arrivals in Italy in the month of June. Minister Salvini accused Germany and the Netherlands to be the responsible of the situation considering that the German NGO’s vessel flies a Dutch flag.
