EU complicit in Libyan Coastguard's ‘crimes against humanity,’ migrant rescue NGO charges
SOS Mediterranee rescuers hold life jackets as migrants on an overcrowded wooden boat wait to be saved some 53 nautical miles from the coast of Libya in the Mediterranean Sea, on Tuesday
THE European Union is complicit in “crimes against humanity” because of its support for the Libyan coastguard, a migrant rescue charity said today following the killing of a Sudanese man whose escape from Libya was intercepted by the EU-funded operation.
Doctors from the intergovernmental group International Organisation for Migration (IOM) witnessed the tragedy on Thursday after the coastguard disembarked 103 migrants in Tripoli.
In a statement condemning the killing today, the IOM said the shooting occurred as the migrants resisted being sent back to detention centres.
