The Tunisian coast guard has recovered 16 bodies of people attempting to reach Europe. Civilian rescuers have saved at least 899 lives in the Mediterranean but survivors are forced to be stranded at sea due to delayed permissions for disembarkation. NGOs have denounced Maltese deterrence tactics and the “extremely hostile environment for refugees” on the island. Cyprus welcomes potential EU relocation and seeks further support. read more

It was opened in 2015 and was supposed to be a temporary reception center, where more than a thousand people now live.

The Aurora saved 85 people, including several children, off the coast of north Africa on May 29 when their fibreglass skiff started to sink as they attempted to sail from Libya to Europe. The crew was given permission by the Italian government to transport the saved migrants to Lampedusa, where they were allowed to disembark. However, two days later, the UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency issued a prohibition notice to the charity forbidding Aurora from returning to the sea, claiming that it was operating “beyond the geographical limitations” of the UK’s Rescue Boat Code, under which it is accredited. read more

Egypt's coast guard is set to receive €80m from the European Commission to prevent people from taking boats towards Italy, according to an internal paper. Drafted by the EU Commission and dated 15 June, the paper says more than 3,500 Egyptians fled the country by boat in the first five months of this year, four times as many as over the same perios in 2021. Around €23m will be handed out this year for "maritime border surveillance equipment." The remaining €57m is slated for next year "for further equipment to be identified." read more

Some asylum claimants who arrived in the UK in small boats or in the back of lorries could be electronically tagged under a new Home Office trial. Boris Johnson said it was important to "make sure asylum seekers can't just vanish into the rest of the country". Critics say the plan treats those fleeing persecution as criminals. read more

In a letter to fellow MEPs this thursday, a group of MEPs demanded of the European Commission to "condemn any use of violence" and ensure the rule of law is respected across member states when it comes to migration. This comes over fresh reports of illegal pushbacks in Greece. The letter also expressed concerns over reports that several NGOs providing legal assistance to migrants and refugees are being investigated for smuggling. read more

The trial against four crew members of the IUVENTA and 17 other defendants charged with "aiding and abetting unauthorised immigration" was suspended due to procedural errors by the prosecution. The judge rejected the prosecution’s claim that the procedural errors could be ignored. Instead, he followed the defence’s argument that the prosecution had failed to inform the defendants about crucial aspects of the proceedings, thus violating fundamental rights of the defendants. He therefore returned the case to the public prosecutor’s office to correct these errors. The reopening of the trial is expected in autumn. read more
