First the shooting, then the repeated ones ramming attemptsfinally, even the throwing of objects. The NGO Sea Watch has released a video showing the behavior of the so-called Libyan coast guard against migrant boats. In the Maltese SAR area, a boat targeted a boat, chasing it and seriously endangering the lives of the people on board. The video also hears the radio communications with which the members of the Sea Watch ask the Libyans to stop. According to reports from the German NGO, the 63 people managed to escape from the attack and find refuge in Lampedusa. The patrol boat used by the Libyans would be the Ras Jadir, donated by Italy four years ago.
