Our fight means peace. Our goal is a good life - for everyone, everywhere! We see sea rescue as one of many left-wing struggles. Fighting the causes of flight means changing something in Europe. Many problems - one solution: Revolution! Solidarity And Resistance! #SystemChange

What Mary says!

It took from 2017 to 24 for a judge to confirm what we have been saying all along: SEARESCUE IS NOT A CRIME! It's been a tough few years and it will take time to recover. But we have learnt, grown and are ready for new battles. The fight continues! Hasta la victoria siempre!

Important thread on a case that could shake laws criminalising solidarity with migrants. The final decision should come early 2025 - stay tuned. #Kinsa

Yesterday, the Advocate General of the CJEU presented his opinion on our lawsuit against EU anti-smuggling laws. We hope the Court will have the courage to go further in its judgment, setting clear limits on the excessive criminalization of a wide range of actions. #Kinsa

Alla Corte di giustizia Ue il parere dell'avvocato generale sul favoreggiamento dell'immigrazione clandestina a scopi umanitari. La sentenza attesa tra la fine di quest'anno e l'inizio del prossimo @ilmanifesto https://t.co/ZPobB3M6jH

Gestern hat der Generalanwalt des EuGH seine Stellungnahme zu unserer Klage gegen die EU-Anti-Schleusergesetze abgegeben. Wir hoffen, dass der Gerichtshof in seinem Urteil (Anfang 2025) weitergeht als diese und der Kriminalisierung jeglicher Handlungen klare Grenzen setzt. #Kinsa

The Court's decision is expected in early 2025, and could lead to a reassessment of laws across the EU and impact hundreds of ongoing smuggling' cases. 👇🏼For more information https://t.co/rU7F1N8ZNX 6/6

We remain firm in our belief that facilitating entry should not be criminalized and that people have the right to move freely. At the very least, the EU should not criminalize acts motivated by solidarity and the intent to uphold the dignity and rights of individuals. 5/6

IMPACT OF THE KINSA-CASE Although the AG shifts the responsibility to the Member States, his opinion is a criticism of Italian law which indiscriminately sanctions altruistic acts and does not require individual assessments. 4/6

2️⃣ Validity of the Facilitator‘s Package The AG finds the FP to be valid. He notes that: 👉🏼 European directives can be that vague and broad, 👉🏼 it is up to Member States to ensure that national implementation upholds the principles of proportionality and legality. 3/6

👉🏼KEY POINTS OF THE ADVOCATE GENERAL'S OPINION👈🏼 1️⃣ Broad scope of criminalization The Advocate General notes that under current EU law, "facilitating unauthorised migration" could apply even to cases such as a mother helping her daughter and niece enter the EU. 2/6

THREAD! 🧵 THE OPINION OF THE ADVOCATE GENERAL IS OUT‼️ Yesterday, the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice delivered his opinion on the #Kinsa case, the lawsuit challenging the facilitation laws both at European and Italian level. 1/6

It is positive! https://t.co/j3d45HG6UP When it comes to criminal offence of aiding and abetting "illegal entry", courts should not equal commercial smugglers and humanitarian or private helpers. This is required by the principle of proportionality, according to the expert.

While many are talking about losing hope or moving to other countries, Native people have survived under U.S. government leaders that wanted us dead since the very beginning. This is still Native land, and will always be Native land. We never had the luxury to stop fighting.

What is actually happening here at the moment? The court has to set a value in dispute. How much money is involved. It can request a new expert opinion or refer to the old one. When sum X is announced, both parties can either agree or refuse. Solidarity And Resistance!

One more week until the General Attorney of the EU Court of Justice will present his opinion on our lawsuit against the EU anti-smuggling laws! We need to abolish laws that criminalise migration! #Kinsa

We need a paradigm shift that goes beyond acknowledging that migration facilitation should not be criminalised and instead recognises that it is necessary to effectively guarantee the rights of people on the move. https://t.co/rU7F1N8ZNX 5/5

🗓 On the 7.11 the Advocate General will present his view on the case and, although it’s not binding, it is generally considered to have an influence on the court's position. ▶️ The CJEU will deliver its ruling by the end of this or the beginning of next year. 4/5

⚖️ Now, the European Court of Justice must assess the legality & legitimacy of the #FacilitatorsPackage & the Art. 12 of the Italian Consolidated Act on Immigration. In particular, their compliance with fundamental rights as enshrined in the European Charter of Human Rights. 3/5

In the absence of safe and legal pathways, counting on someone to facilitate entry, stay or transit is often the only way for people to reach safety. Criminalizing facilitation is a political choice aimed at deterring people from reaching #FortressEurope. 2/5
