A hundred people, fleeing the brutal living conditions in Tunisia, were intercepted at sea by the Garde Nationale, arrested and deported to the desert towards the border with Algeria. This is what Alarm Phone has made known a few hours ago.
Mediterranean Saving Humans says so. “It seems that the Garde National has seized their phones, preventing them any possibility of communication – continues the NGO – the practice of deportations in the desert continues to be used by the autocratic Siedi against women, men and migrant and refugee children. We have documented, since February 2023, many cases like this in Tunisia, a country that systematically violates human rights even against its own citizens, arbitrarily arrested if they arrested Politicians, journalists, trade unionists. We ask the International Criminal Court to open a serious investigation on the complicity of European governments, and of the Italian one in particular, in these inhuman practices “.
