Migrants on Open Arms ship disembark in Italy after 6 days at sea
2019-08-22
[EN.ALWASAT.LY] Eighty-three migrants colonists rescued at sea by the Open Arms disembarked early Wednesday from the charity rescue vessel in Italia's Lampedusa island, television images showed, after Italian justice ordered they be brought ashore.

The boat had spent six days anchored off Lampedusa before a local prosecutor ordered their disembarkment amid a probe of far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini for forbidding their entry to port.

Many of them had spent 19 days on board the ship after being picked up while in difficulty trying to make the perilous journey from Libya to Europe
