German charity protests Italy's seizure of migrant rescue ship
Fox News
A humanitarian rescue group protested Italy's seizure of its migrant rescue ship following a weekend incident where the Libyan Coast Guard allegedly fired live bullets.
"Humanity 1 was first on the scene and therefore responsible for the rescue according to maritime law,’’ said the captain, who was identified only by his first name Leo. "If the so-called Libyan Coast Guard had not turned up to illegally return survivors to Libya, we would have carried out the rescue in an orderly way."
