Solidarity with the Gaza Freedom Flotilla! Today, the #CONSCIENCE ship, bringing humanitarian aid to #Gaza was attacked by a drone. "While ships carrying the most advanced weaponry in the world pass freely, those carrying urgent humanitarian aid to a starving population burn".

"Dignity for Refugees and Asylum Seekers. Refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants will always have our support." #SolidarityIsNotaCrime

"We call for an end to the criminalization of solidarity with migrants, the release of all detained individuals, and the cessation of all legal proceedings against them."

"The Monitoring Committee condemns the purely political nature of this investigation, which contradicts international agreements signed by Tunisia."

"The campaign began after the National Security Council meeting in May 2024 and continues with new individuals being investigated daily for providing humanitarian aid to migrants."

"Abdallah El Said's imprisonment is part of a broader policy to criminalize solidarity with migrants. This has led to numerous arrests and ongoing prosecutions, with many hearings still pending."

"Abdallah El Said enjoys all civil and political rights as a Tunisian citizen and conducts his civic activities in full compliance with the law. His only "crime" is his dedication to the region where he lives and his solidarity with migrant and refugee children in Médenine."

"Abdallah El Said, of Chadian origin and active in Tunisia for many years, has been the target of hateful and racist campaigns on social media due to his humanitarian support for migrant and refugee children."

"After a lengthy interrogation, the charges against Abdallah El Said remain unspecified. They are believed to relate to his work in the care of refugee, migrant, and abandoned children, key initiatives of the association in the Médenine region."

"On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the Financial Investigation Unit placed Abdallah El Said, an activist and president of the “Enfants de la Lune de Médenine” Association, in custody."

5/5 We stand alongside those who have already arrived in Lampedusa and those still struggling along the borders of the European fortress, fighting for their freedom of movement against all forms of oppression! #NoBorders #NoNations #StopDeportations

4/5 Today, October 16, 2024, LIBRA P402 arrives in Shëngjin. We stand in full solidarity with the 16 people forced to endure these borders.

3/5 This propaganda move fuels filtering, stereotyping, & segregation of those rescued at sea, destined for centres in Albania, while their rights are sacrificed in a cynical attempt to gain political support.

2/5 These persons were forced into an even longer journey to outsourced detention centres, used by Italy & Europe to deter asylum requests. This is yet another act of border externalization.

1/5 On October 14, 2024, we spotted the military ship LIBRA P402 off the coast of Lampedusa. It carried 16 people (10 Egyptians, 6 Bangladeshis), headed to Albania for detention.

the voices of those who manage to cross the sea tell a very different story. The situation is far from "under control."

Contrary to a mainstream narrative focused on the ability of the far-right government to "block departures" and therefore arrivals, and the rhetoric of "everything under control," thanks to Giorgia Meloni's agreements with North African countries,
