Free Carola! Stop the criminalisation of rescue at sea!

THURSDAY 5 - 7 pm AMSTERDAM - SPUI

https://www.indymedia.nl/node/46299

Join us this Thursday (4 July at 5PM) at Spui to show your solidarity with Carola Rackete, captain of the Sea-Watch 3, and all those who are fleeing in search for a better life.

"Neither the EU-Commission nor any European government brought about the solution for the disembarkation of the remaining 40 survivors aboard Sea-Watch 3. In the end it was captain Carola Rackete who was both forced and willing to take responsibility and who brought the people to safety against all adversities. Without permission she entered Italian waters and later the port of Lampedusa. She enforced the rights of the rescued people to be disembarked to a place of safety."

OUR DEMANDS to the Dutch government:

1. Call upon the Italian government to free Carola The criminalisation of those rescuing people at sea must stop now!
2. Get the Sea-Watch 3, sailing under the Dutch flag, back to out to sea to continue her rescue-work asap.
3. Heed our call: refugees welcome, freedom of movement for all!
