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
