🚨NEW EPISODE:

Cetta & Daniel of @maltamigrationarchive.org tell us about exposing:
• the Maltese government's refusal to save refugee lives
• how it ignores civilian rescuers
• pressurises commercial ships not to rescue

As it happens to me that many found this poetic, I will share it with the rest of you. I presented this text in Malta two days ago at the launch of the Malta Migration Archive @maltamigrationarchive.org , held at the University of Malta. I had no fancy speech to give, so I left this behind.

"As the documented pushbacks increased, data collected by the archive also shows that rescues of the boats in distress by the Armed Forces of Malta moved in the opposite direction."
