Investigating judge Lorenzo Jannelli announced at today's preliminary hearing in Palermo that the trial against former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini in the Open Arms case for deprivation of liberty will be opened.

Grandi said there have been human rights abuses by countries along the route, including "brutal push-backs the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time." read more

What is clear, however, is that it is a frequent phenomenon and is linked to many problems and shortcomings. It shows once again that despite the clear obligations of the international community towards refugees and displaced persons, more and more states are trying to evade their responsibility to protect and are not complying with international law agreements. read more
