Ship with 42 migrants defies ban, enters Italian waters
[DAWN] A German humanitarian group said its ship carrying 42 migrants colonists rescued off Libya two weeks ago has entered Italian waters near the southernmost island of Lampedusa at midday on Wednesday in defiance of an explicit ban by the country’s hard-line interior ministry.

Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini responded, saying he wouldn’t allow any of the migrants colonists to disembark, and threatened to deploy law enforcement.

"The right to defend our borders is sacred," Salvini said. He has insisted that the boat should have continued to other ports during the two-week standoff, and not remain close to Italia.

He cited nearby Malta and Tunisia, but also northern Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an ports, noting that the group is German and that the boat has a Dutch flag.

Sea-Watch said that the migrants colonists had become desperate after the European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday rejected their appeal to be allowed to disembark in Italia.
