You have signed this petition, launched on our YouMove platform by the Comité Européen contre la Criminalisation du Sauvetage en Mer (CECCSM). We want to thank you for your support.
Carola Rackete is free! [1] The support for the heroic captain of Sea Watch 3 all over the world has been immense - and you were part of it!
The initiators of the International Call have a message for you and everyone who signed the appeal:
"The Italian Judiciary has ordered to release Captain Rackete from arrest. This is a great victory and a humiliation for Minister Matteo Salvini. However, she remains under threat of expulsion and unable to continue her mission with her ship and crew. Meanwhile, the bombing of refugee camps in Libya clearly shows that there is immediate danger there for all migrants. [2] We remain firmly committed to the exigencies in the petition and continue our campaign." – Etienne Balibar, Sandro Mezzadra, Eric Fassin, Barbara Spinelli and the entire Comité Européen contre la Criminalisation du Sauvetage en Mer
Thank you for your involvement and your faith that Europe can and must be changed.
Marta (Warsaw), Olga (Bolonia), Pietro (Rome), and the entire WeMove team
PS Please, spread the word about the Call: share the petition.
