UPDATE 22/07/2020: During the night, the ~120 (in the end 131) people in distress were found by the so-called Libyan coastguard and returned to Libya. While we are relieved that they survived, we fear for their lives in Libya, a warzone where torture, r**e and imprisonment are systemic conditions.

Osprey, an aerial asset of the EU border agency Frontex is at the scene of distress. About 120 lives are at risk. Instead of sending rescue, Europe’s border agency just watches from the sky how people struggle for their lives at sea, as they've done all day. If these people lose their lives, it is on you, Europe.
Black Lives Matter, also at sea!
Stop watching, start rescuing!
