Italiaanse regering gaat helemaal tekeer tegen humanitaire hulpverleners die migranten op zee proberen te redden.
"The day before yesterday, our ship IUVENTA was called upon by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre Rome to bring two rescued people to Lampedusa.
Yesterday, in front of the island Lampedusa, again under the direction of the MRCC Rome, search patterns were applied to find a missing boat with probably 50 people on board.
Today, in the early morning hours, our ship, according to instructions from the MRCC, then went to the port of Lampedusa.
As it happened during other stops at this port, the crew was questioned by the local police, which also entered the ship. Around noon the search of the ship began after the submission of a search warrant.
Late in the afternoon the ship was seized by the Italian authorities and will be taken to Sicily. Accusations against the crew were not charged. Further information will follow."
