ONE of the captains of the German migrant rescue NGO Sea Watch has turned down the Medal of the City of Paris following a dramatic 24 hours for the civil fleet.
Pia Klemp, 36, captained the Iuventa for the German charity Youth Rescue before working with Sea Watch in 2017.
Between August 2016 and August 2017 the Iuventa crew rescued over 14,000 migrants from a watery grave off the coast of Libya.
