Fortress Europe [July 22, 2010]
The story of the rejection, which occurred last Saturday, carried out by a Libyan patrol boat with Italian personnel on board. 28 Somalis were brought to Malta 27 are detained in Libya. What are the criteria for "selection"? The complaint: separated families, we were led to believe that the patrol boat would take us in Italy, have threatened to leave us adrift in the sea
[by Fortress Europe] disturbing details are emerging on the last Saturday of expulsion to Libya carried by a Libyan patrol boat, with Italian staff on board, at the request of the Maltese authorities. So far, we knew that the 55 passengers of the boat intercepted Somalis to 44 miles from Malta, 28 were brought to Malta - including 5 women, 3 of which are pregnant, and a child - and 27 others returned to Libya. Today we know more. And we can say with certainty that some households are separate states. That there is at least one man in the detention center in Safi, Malta, the patrol boat that Libya had directed his wife seven months pregnant, and now will not see for years, and now fears the worst can happen in the hands Libyan police. The details of the story were published by the Times of Malta, in an article by Kurt Sansone.
And it was not an oversight. The man told the Times of Malta: "I told the soldiers that my wife was on the Maltese Libyan patrol boat but they have continued to insist that they wanted my boarding on board with the Libyans to identify it. I refused because I knew that if I went, there were both dismissed in Libya. "
Meanwhile, Interior Ministry spokesman reiterated that the Maltese authorities do not intend to open an investigation into the case. According to the official in fact "in the three cases where soldiers have been advised by people on board the Maltese who were accompanied by their wives, wives were joined by their husbands drive Maltese." On the topic has expressed "grave concern" including the Jesuit Refugee Service Malta, expressing serious doubt that Libya might be considered a safe haven given the impossibility of seeing granted political asylum, and fearing that the 27 have rejected " voluntarily "agreed to return to Tripoli, as reported by the Maltese authorities. Today
Malta refuses to make public the criteria by which they were selected to carry the 28 Somalis on the ground and 27 to be rejected, admitted that there was a policy. According to Somalis who landed in Malta, and at this time held in Safi, initially would have to board the weakest and then insisting that others go up to the edge of the Libyan patrol boat. The same repeat was initially made them believe that the Libyan patrol boat was heading to Italy, because there was staff on board who spoke Italian.
"At a certain point - told the Times of Malta - one of our friends who had gone on patrol noticed that there were also the Libyans and started to cry. At that point they were treated badly and a group of us who were still on the boat refused to rise. We insisted to go with the Maltese, but then the soldiers have threatened to leave us adrift in the sea if it went up with the Libyans. We said it was better to die at sea and return to Libya, because that place is like hell. "But in the end have gone up. A total of 27 people, including 9 women, some of them pregnant. On their own, for now , we no longer news.
