ROME - An Italian charity ship was escorted into the port of Lampedusa by police on Tuesday after rescuing 49 Africans in the Mediterranean, with Interior Minister Matteo Salvini calling for the crew to be arrested.
The vessel picked up the migrants, including 12 minors, on Monday after their rubber boat started to sink in the central Mediterranean, some 42 miles off the coast of Libya. The judicial source said the migrants would be allowed to disembark, while the boat would be impounded and the crew faced possible questioning.
There was no immediate comment from the collective that organized Monday’s sea operation, “Mediterranea”. It said in an earlier statement that the rescue had been carried out in accordance with international human rights and maritime law.New arrivals to Italy have plummeted since Salvini took office last June, with just 348 migrants coming so far this year, according to official data, down 94 percent on the same period in 2018 and down 98 percent on 2017.
“If a citizen forces a police roadblock they are arrested. I trust the same thing will happen here,” Salvini said.
