SEARCH and rescue group SOS Mediterranee called today for an end to Fortress Europe border policies, calling the more than 1,500 drownings in the Mediterranean this year “a humanitarian disaster and a political scandal.”
The Berlin-based group, which said it will change its name to SOS Humanity on January 1, appealed to the new German government to “advocate for a change of policy. The EU’s inhumane sealing of the borders must be ended.
“The funding of the Libyan coastguard, which intercepts refugees on the high seas and illegally returns them to Libya, must be stopped,” managing director Maike Roettger said.
