#Spain, the article may be a bit misleading, some of these people who were on Aquarius are not refugees & do not have other right to stay in Spain. This may be hard to understand for some, but the solution for some of them is rapid dignified return home. https://t.co/CCdhFGuhOr

I keep asking the same question, who sold these boats? Who imported them in transit through a European country? Who received them in #Libya ? Can serious police work take place as if it was drugs or terrorism. These merchants of death should be prosecuted. https://t.co/AD2F5mjlNg

#Tunisia, people on board also refused to be disembarked for several days in Tunisia, this system where people would like to chose where to disembark cannot work. Tunisia is not Libya in terms of safety! https://t.co/dlni97lP4H

A little reminder of how a place of safety has been defined by the Martime Safety Committee of the IMO. Disembarkation from international waters to #Libya is not permissible. https://t.co/IMVaZiLuid

Absolutely agree on the need to bring them to safety and Italy is not the only safe place and Libya is not! https://t.co/K8oDlw8f54

A regional disembarkation mechanism can only work if several European Med states participate. Shifting the responsibility to NA states is a clear non-starter. EU reaches no firm deal on Austrian plan to limit migration https://t.co/I2SfH9m6yn https://t.co/E9mPihIHIy

These actions combined with others means reduced search capacity, reduced rescue capacity, means less independent witnesses on the behaviour of the Libyan Coast Guards & other actors, it also means more death at sea. Who will be accountable for this? https://t.co/XJNpD9qWOs
