Malta: Fresh evidence disputes AFM sabotage claims

Alleged sabotage of a migrant boat by Malta’s armed forces was instead a standard rescue procedure, according to fresh evidence submitted by civil society group Repubblika to the courts on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, the NGO Alarm Phone revealed a call to its hotline from a group of migrants stranded at sea, claiming that an AFM crew cut the cable of their stranded boat and told them: “I leave you to die in the water.” Source: Times of Malta
