The Open Arms overflowing with migrants awaits its turn for a safe haven. The old tug that with great difficulty the Spanish NGO managed to get back to sea despite the precarious conditions of the engine, made the fourth rescue in two days. Alerted by Alarm phone, Open Arms managed to locate a white fiberglass boat with 45 people. It now has 282 migrants on board, some of whom are in precarious health and may need to be evacuated.From the Sea Watch reconnaissance aircraft of the Sea Watch, instead, the report and documentation of a refoulement arrived, which was reported by the German NGO. A Turkish frigate of a NATO fleet intercepted a boat with about thirty migrants and returned them to the Libyan coastguard patrol boat Sabratha who brought them back. “Turkey, a signatory country of the ECHR and a NATO member – writes Sea Watch – has thus made itself complicit in this umpteenth serious violation of human rights”.
NATO, however, points out that the Turkish military ship Tcg Gaziantep at the time of the intervention was under “Turkish and not NATO command”. For “further questions about this incident”, sources from the Atlantic Alliance point out, it is necessary to ask for information “directly to the Turkish Ministry of Defense”.

On the eve of the tacit renewal of the Italy-Libya Memorandum for the next three years, without any of the changes to guarantee human rights that had been requested by the Italian government in the expected expiry of the agreement, many voices are raised to ask for the termination of those agreements .”When I asked to tear up the agreements with Libya, the government solemnly promised pre-renewal changes. Sunday is renewed and the changes are not there. If I say that there is no discontinuity the answer is that I am an idiot. Amen. But friends and companions to the government, so it is unacceptable, “tweets the parliamentarian Pd Matteo Orfini.
And the deputy of Leu Erasmo Palazzotto, member of the Foreign Affairs Commission, asks for the immediate revocation of the Memorandum. “The situation in Libya is becoming more and more worrying day after day – he says -, we are facing a serious humanitarian emergency and facing one of the greatest systemic violations of human rights known since the Second World War to date with real camps concentration camp where thousands of people are trapped In this context the government cannot renew the agreements with that country on February 2 as if nothing had happened, or in a bureaucratic way, but instead the government must immediately suspend its application. Collaborating to repel people fleeing to a country at war is a crime against humanity. ”
