On the Mediterranean, migrants face grave danger in the attempt to cross from Africa to their targets in Europe, places like the small Italian island of Lampedusa. Jade Wilson visited Lampedusa to report on how a new law governing the activities of NGO rescue missions has made the voyage, often on unsafe, overcrowded boats, even more hazardous. And Sally Hayden looks at a recent UN report on the human rights situation in Libya. The report adds to the mounting evidence that the EU, through programmes designed to keep migrants away from its borders, has cooperated with groups that have perpetrated human rights abuses including murder, torture and sexual slavery. Within the EU itself there is little outcry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
