Louise Michel is free
Our rescue ship Louise Michel is free again after 20-days in detention.
A new crew has arrived and is now training for our upcoming operations.
Ships like the Louise Michel exist because Europe fails in its obligations to protect human rights.
With the newly implemented rules for CEAS (Common European asylum system), the EU has again decided to go against humanity and basic human rights. These new rules have faster deportation procedures, stricter border controls, and prison-like transfer detention centers. They must be resisted.
We stand up for human rights for all, advocating for freedom of movement, and standing in solidarity people seeking together.
Together, we are stronger.

Louise Michel still detained in port
On Thursday our rescue ship MV Louise Michel entered the Sicilian port of #Pozzallo. 6 Survivors from a previous rescue were disembarked by a coastguard vessel.
Since then our ship has been blocked from leaving port under the so called Piantedosi decree.The authorities accusation implies that we could have gone to the port of #Catania which would have taken us below our safety reserves of fuel.
We will not jeopardise the safety of the survivors on board, the crew and the ship, by ignoring navigational standards just to play Italys political games against sea rescue ships and people on the move.
Sea rescue is a human right.
A rescue is only finished once survivors have reached the closest port of safety.
Free Louise Michel.

‘I LOST MY BOAT, NOT MY LIFE’: Dramatic 6m sea rescue for solo sailor after maiden voyage from Swansea turns into ‘action movie’ nightmare
Max, a Forces veteran and former Helicopter Winch Operator, had expected a challenging but fun trip to Scotland aboard his newly purchased 30ft yacht, a 1975 Carter 30.
Despite his extensive safety preparations—including dual autopilots, AIS, and extra safety lines—nature had other plans for his maiden voyage.
Shortly after entering the Bristol Channel, the “nice sailing” conditions evaporated as unexpected gale warnings and ferocious 40-knot gusts tore across the water.
The situation turned critical when the vessel’s engine faltered, filling the compartment with smoke and leaving 200 litres of sooty water sloshing below deck.
“I didn’t want to enter Milford Haven at night as I wasn’t familiar with the VTS there,” Max recalled. “I really didn’t want to be in a rescue situation in total darkness.”
As dawn broke, Max made the life-saving decision to call for help while he still had power and some control over the rolling boat.
The Angle RNLI lifeboat arrived in the middle of a “confusing” sea state, but the drama was only just beginning.
While under tow, a violent wave sent Max flying into the cockpit, injuring his back, before another massive roller tipped him into the freezing water.
Thankfully, he was still attached to the boat by his safety line—a feature he had meticulously fitted before leaving Swansea.
“It was like something out of an action movie,” Max said. “The waves were crashing over our heads, and my feet were slipping against the boat’s propeller.”
In a daring move, an RNLI crewman cut Max free and inflated his lifejacket, allowing him to be hauled to safety aboard the lifeboat.
Reflecting on the loss of his vessel, Max said: “I am forever grateful to HM Coastguard and the lifeboat crew, who showed such skill, compassion, and humanity. I lost my boat, but I didn’t lose my life.”
Max’s Top Solo Sailing Advice
CategoryActionPreparationSafety equipment only helps if it’s fitted, tested, and ready before you leave.LifejacketsWear your lifejacket correctly and fit cleats, hooks, and lines today, not tomorrow.MindsetStay calm and think methodically. Panicking wastes time and energy.CommsHave backups. Carry a mobile phone, a VHF radio, and items like SARTs and EPIRBs.Advise OthersTell people your plans, routes, and timings so they can raise the alarm. #AngleRNLI #BoatingSafety #BristolChannel #HMCoastguard #Max #RNLI #SeaRescue #SoloSailing #Swansea #yacht -

The more details that come out about this story, the more heroic the kid is and the more amazing the rescue is!
Austin literally Doryed himself for four hours (“just keep swimming, just keep swimming”), then collapsed so completely the moment he’d called for help that he didn’t wake up again until he was in hospital. He’s getting around on crutches because his legs are so sore.
His mum and two younger siblings were in the water for eight to ten hours. The sun went down. That mum was floating in the dark thinking she’d sent her boy off to die and that they were all going to die too.
They’d managed to stay together but the waves were getting bigger and they were thrown apart.
Pitch dark. Rough water. Your kid screaming, floating away. Worse: can’t hear the other kid at all.
Holy fuck.
And then the sound of a boat engine.
If that rescue boat had come any later, even minutes later, than it did, my God.
And Austin’s first thought when he woke up was, I wasn’t fast enough. That came *so heartbreakingly close* to being true, and yet he couldn’t have done better.

World Cup-winning coach #JogiLöw takes a clear stance:
"For me, it’s obvious: people should not be left to die in the Mediterranean because they are seeking refuge from war, violence, or the #ClimateCrisis.
You do not let people drown."

Europe’s cooperation with the Libyan coast guard is framed as security policy. Yet thousands intercepted at sea end up in camps the UN deems unsafe.
Lukas Seiwerth traces how EU institutions helped build this system, why key human-rights obligations vanish in the process, and how “legal black holes” have become an integral part of Europe’s Mediterranean border regime 👇

Freedom of movement
Our new crew has arrived on board and is getting ready for the next rotation.
The political situation has not eased. People continue to flee in search of safety. Europe continues to seal itself off.
The human right to freedom of movement should apply to everyone! For equality, for freedom, for solidarity with each other!
We continue to fight against fascism.

Heroes of the Sea
The RNLI flag flies in Ballycotton Harbour.
The RNLI operates one of Ireland’s busiest lifeboat stations at Ballycotton, which launched 57 times in 2023 alone, rescuing 49 people and assisting 67 others. The station operates an all-weather lifeboat capable of handling the most challenging sea conditions off the Cork coast. Ballycotton RNLI has a proud history dating back to 1858, and the station’s crews have been awarded numerous medals for gallantry, including gold medals for particularly heroic rescues. The RNLI is a charity that relies entirely on voluntary donations and is crewed by unpaid volunteers who undergo extensive training to perform rescues in some of the most dangerous maritime conditions around the British and Irish coasts.

In 2024, 106 people were accused of “facilitating irregular migration" - that’s nearly one arrest every three days.
We must dismantle policies that perpetuate violence and exploitation. Freedom of movement isn’t just a humane solution, it’s a political imperative!

Gleichzeitig wurde 1 weiteres Boot in Seenot, das #Frontex entdeckt u. gemeldet hatte, wahrscheinl. abgefangen.
Frontex ist nachweislich an illegalen Abfangaktionen beteiligt und zwingt Menschen zurück nach #Libyen.

The Louise Michel is back at sea
Our crew assisted a boat with 30 people on boardYesterday evening the Louise Michel departed from Sicily towards the Central Mediterranean. During the night our crew was alerted by the civil emergency hotline @alarm_phone about an overcrowded boat south of Lampedusa.
On the way there our crew found a wooden boat with 20-30 people on it and stayed until #guardiadifinanza za took over and brought everyone safely to #Lampedusa.
Meanwhile tragically another boat in distress, spotted and alerted by #frontex , has most likely been intercepted.
Frontex has been proven to be involved in illegal interceptions and pushing people back to #Libya.
The Louise Michel continues sailing in this area and is ready to assist.

„We know about your hard and stressful working conditions as seafarers, so today we send you our deepest thanks for every rescue you have carried out!
In the Mediterranean Sea, as well as in the Atlantic and the English Channel, you often rescue refugees who are in distress. Sometimes the boats are small, and sometimes they are very big, and they are almost always overcrowded. We have seen how you carry out these rescues no matter the weather conditions, even though when the waves are high it is dangerous for you as well.
We know that when you provide help your vessel becomes delayed, meaning there is more stress and harder work for you in the next port. But your hearts are wide, and you don’t want to pass by when brothers, sisters and their children are close to drowning.
Today we want to say: we see you! We will never forget every one of you who did what they could to stand by the side of the people in distress...“
