Italian Authorities Detained a Migrant Rescue Ship

Italian authorities have detained the Eleonore rescue ship with about 100 migrants on board. They were supposed to come ashore, despite the ban for the ship to enter Italian territorial waters. "Eleonore will be arriving in Pozzallo soon," German charity Lifeline wrote on Twitter.

The ship has been in the sea for eight days, waiting to enter port.

The Strasbourg Court Recognized Italy's Right not to Accept Migrants

The Strasbourg court recognized Italy's right not to accept the "Sea Watch 3" humanitarian ship with rescued migrants. The ship, which has been in the Mediterranean for 14 days, has asked to land on the Italian coast.

The European Court of Human Rights rejected the request of the crew of the ''Sea Watch 3'' ship to land in Italy.
