The draft mandate is expected to be put to a vote in the Bundestag on Wednesday, 15 October. We call on the members of the Bundestag to clearly reject the mandate!

Anyone who strengthens the so-called Libyan coast guard bears joint responsibility for repatriations to Libya that violate international law and exposes refugees to the worst human rights violations.

Recently, there has been an increase in life-threatening attacks by the so-called Libyan coast guard on refugees and sea rescue ships.

The Federal Cabinet has decided to extend the IRINI mandate. Unlike in the past, the text for the German mandate no longer excludes support for the so-called Libyan coast guard, but explicitly mentions it as an option.

Like the alliance organising the days of action, we demand:
• the immediate end of cooperation with the so-called Libyan coast guard
• the evacuation of people stranded in Libya
• safe passage to Europe

A so-called Memorandum of Understanding was signed for cooperation between Italy and Libya. If it is not revoked by 2 November 2025, it will be automatically extended for another 3 years. Starting tomorrow, days of action against the renewal of the agreement will begin in Rome.

Two others were seriously injured. The refugees have since been able to disembark in Pozzallo, Italy.

Although Alarm Phone and the Italian sea rescue organisation Mediterranea Saving Humans informed the Italian authorities directly, it took 24 hours after the shooting for the rescue to begin.

CN Armed violence
Once again, the so-called Libyan coast guard has fired on refugees in the Mediterranean. Alarm Phone reported that the attack took place on Sunday in the Maltese search and rescue zone. One person is currently in a coma after being hit in the head by a bullet.

The detention of civilian rescue ships is pure harassment and life-threatening! The Piantedosi decree, which provides the basis for the detentions, must finally be abolished! Sea rescue is a duty!

The court made it clear that the crew had sailed to Trapani to protect the rescued people, who were in a particularly vulnerable and fragile condition. The ship should be released as soon as possible so that Mediterranea can continue its life-saving work.

The court in Trapani has lifted the detention of the civilian sea rescue ship Mediterranea. The ship is thus complying with the appeal lodged against the 60-day detention and the €10,000 fine.

Activism does not happen on its own – it takes energy, time and, unfortunately, money. We need your support so that we can continue to organise independently, launch campaigns and push for a society based on solidarity. Every donation helps us to not only react, but also to work for the long term.

We demand an end to this deadly harassment! The blockade and obstruction of civilian ships must be stopped. Safe passage and freedom of movement are finally needed.

The long journeys lasting several days pose an avoidable risk and violate the fundamental rights of those rescued from distress at sea.

Two other boats could not be found despite emergency calls.
The politically organised delay in disembarking refugees deliberately prolongs their suffering. In addition, the authorities are preventing the ships from rescuing more people!

On Sunday night, Sea-Watch 5 rescued 79 people. The rescued people were assigned to the port of La Spezia, which is why they will not be safe until Friday. No one should have to wait days for protection after being rescued.

According to those who were rescued, seven people had already drowned. After the ship was initially assigned to Bari for disembarkation, it was finally able to bring the people ashore in Porto Empedocle on Sunday and prepare for the next rescue.

SOS Humanity's Humanity 1 also rescued 41 people in distress over the weekend who had been in an overcrowded rubber dinghy on the open sea for more than four days. For two people, the rescue came too late and they died on the rescue ship.

This system does not create security, but zones of lawlessness. Anyone who takes human rights seriously cannot remain silent. Civil society resistance and clear political action are needed now.
