The Libyan coastguard fired multiple times while two boats of the NGO SOS Mediterranée were conducting a rescue of eleven people in distress in international waters on Friday (7 July).
The Libyan coast guard, using a boat funded by the EU and gifted to them, fire upon a SAS (search and rescue) boat in international waters. Fuck these guys!
These taxpayer-founded coast guard operations and Frontex need a lot more oversight. MEPs have a shitload of work to do to held these operations and Frontex accountable.
