Good to see a united front calling for a shift in policy. The status quo cannot continue. While people are taken back to Libya to detention centres, they cannot be said to have been ‘rescued’ #portichiusi We stand #WithRefugees https://t.co/qBSGrClzzr

@IrishTimesWorld I have to admit, I wasn't there...but I'm not sure the High Commissioner for Refugees did say that about the housing crisis....

@JFCrisp @JC_Hathaway Really? “Any assistance and responsibilities assigned to relevant Libyan entities (LCG, JRCC) should be made conditional on no one being arbitrarily detained after they have been rescued”

@JFCrisp Did you read the statement Jeff? It says clearly, any support to relevant Libyan entities (Libyan Coast Guard) must be conditional on guarantees of those rescued not being detained

@JC_Hathaway @JFCrisp We have repeatedly called for no refugee to be (forcibly) returned to Libya.

It has been said but it needs repeating until it is clear and unquestioned. Libya is not safe for refugees! No one rescued on the Mediterranean should be returned to Libya! Libya must not be considered to have a safe port for docking rescued passengers! https://t.co/gVe3OLEN4v

The detention centres must be closed + people released in a safe, orderly manner. We're ready to set up community or open centres to host people. Proper information on aid + assistance must be available to all https://t.co/gVe3OLEN4v

NGOs have played a critical role in saving lives at sea. They must not be punished. There needs me an end to the legal + logistical restrictions on their work https://t.co/gVe3OLEN4v

We cannot afford another tragedy like Tajoura. 50+ innocent refugees lost their lives to an airstrike. It must not happen again. All 5,600 refugees + migrants in detention must be released. They need to be out of harm's way https://t.co/gVe3OLEN4v

Mare Nostrum saved thousands of lives. Europe should return State search + rescue vessels to the Med. Support to the Libyan Coast Guard MUST be made conditional on no one being returned to detention. If things don't change, support should be stopped! https://t.co/gVe3OLEN4v
