Malta lässt gewalttätige libysche Milizen einfach in seine Such- und Rettungszone einfahren, um Menschen auf der Flucht zu entführen & zurück in Folter & Gewalt zu bringen. Dieselben haben letzte Woche noch auf unsere Sea-Watch 5 geschossen!

New data drop! In 2025, the Maltese authorities permitted the so-called Libyan coast guard to enter Malta’s SAR zone at least 34 times - a more than 350% increase to 2020 - to intercept over 1,500 people and forcibly return them to Libya. Full press release maltamigrationarchive.org/ArchivePress...

New 2025 data reveals continued non-assistance and a surge in pushbacks! 242 cases of distress in 01-06/2025. Maltese authorities continued to deny assistance to people whose lives were at risk, only rescuing two of these boats. + Surge in illegal pushbacks from Malta’s SAR zone to Libya!

🚨NEW EPISODE: Cetta & Daniel of @maltamigrationarchive.org tell us about exposing: • the Maltese government's refusal to save refugee lives • how it ignores civilian rescuers • pressurises commercial ships not to rescue • and how it organises pushbacks with the Libyan coastguards.

An honour to present the Archive at Malta Refugee Council's event ‘Protection Begins at Sea’ with others! Fantastic to see participants remind Malta's Migration Ambassador that distress calls are always a matter of life and death. Fundamental rights are not 'pull factors' and are non-negotiable.

As it happens to me that many found this poetic, I will share it with the rest of you. I presented this text in Malta two days ago at the launch of the Malta Migration Archive @maltamigrationarchive.org , held at the University of Malta. I had no fancy speech to give, so I left this behind.
