- Malta has come under fire again from a coalition of human rights organisations again for pushing back migrants to third countries, risking the lives of those travelling by sea and breaching international law.
- The statement added, “as organisations engaging in Search and Rescue (SAR) activities at sea, we denounce the forcible transfer of these 23 people to Egypt and call for consequences to Malta’s blatant violations of maritime and international law”.
- An incident referred to in the report detailed when four boats carrying around 250 migrants were spotted in Malta’s search and rescue zone in April 2020.
