Activists defy Italian laws to rescue migrants at sea
Migrants continue to venture out to Italian port of Lampedusa despite country’s ‘zero tolerance’ measures, making activists’ rescue efforts much harder.
The tiny Italian island of Lampedusa has long been a magnet for migrants wanting to reach Europe.
But harsher measures by Italy’s right-wing politicians have made it more difficult for activists who rescue migrant ships stuck at sea.
