They were trying to save lives, now they face criminal charges

Despite the falling numbers of European migrants arriving by sea, there has been an increase in the number of criminal investigations targeting aid workers and nongovernmental organizations helping migrants travel safely, according to European Union funded research.

    1. @Diversity has FAILED Miserably

      It’s not race. It’s religion. Without Islam the problem goes away. Basically religion=bad.

  1. this world is upside down when you’re trying to do the right thing and save some lives and then you’re charged for a crime…WTF!

    1. @Michael If a person is falling from the sky I would hope you would swing by with your plane and save his life before he hits the ground..
      Unfortunately you would be charged for smuggling him…

    2. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr people have tried to get in and help but they have been refused entrance. And all donations have been refused. Government officials and NGOs have had their offers of aid refused.

      One man, and he was white and well to do, bought and brought an entire van load of stuff to one of the facilities which was near him. He had heard on the news that the facility, which housed children separated from their families, didn’t have enough diapers, etc. He filled his whole van up with boxes of diapers and other things which were needed. Drove up to the gate and was turned away by armed guards.

    1. @Dorian Shades of gray So your non religious approach is to deny all seekers because some of them are not genuine? Sucks to be you or under your authority if you have any.

    2. @robert walton Sucker..
      .this is part of a globalist plot to destroy borders. Soros was busted paying for the boats. He’s such a great guy breaking the bank of England.

    3. @robert walton stop being a child and deal with facts instead of feelings. These do gooder idiots “ rescuing” these queue jumpers are sending a clear message to people smugglers that all they have to do is go half way out and wait to be “rescued”. So that the idiots rescuing them are the ones charged with trafficking instead of them.
      Australia is a country that sent a very strong message to people smugglers by saying boats will be turned around if possible to the port they left and if the the boat is scuttled so that the occupants have to be rescued then these people will be processed off shore and never set foot in Australia.. This strong action stopped the boats coming and saved 1000s of lives that were being lost at sea because they stopped taking the risk.

    4. I’m glad they are being prosecuted, and I hope these people are all dep0rted back to their own countries. I will be supporting that direction permanently after this. They all need to be dep0rted back, and I couldn’t care less if you cry about racism. Period

    1. It’s not that complicated:

      1. Capitalism is the best model for increasing collective wealth.
      2. Marxists hate feeling inferior and attack it for no good reason.
      3. Those people coming from Africa/etc. are trying to get to land of fruit (capitalist countries)
      4. The Marxists who hate feeling inferior are conflicted in that they want to get rid of rich people, but not the riches, and their pea-brains have not quite figured-out how to do that in context of migrants.

    1. EU will charge the States and Russia for producing refugees in the Middle East frequently.
      Actually, the war wagging countries and backers/ supporters like Saudi Arabia and Israel should care for the refugees.

    2. transit journal Obama & Bush…say it…they’re to blame for their wars. The UN is to blame too! The UN needs to go! They’re tyrants from countries who violate human rights. They come to the US and break our laws with immunity. Nobody is above the law the demonrats spew…another lie, of course

    3. There will be a civil war before the mass migration. I would join myself for that. They will all be dep0rted back. Period

  2. It’s another cnn lie. This boats not helping people. The bring back illegals to Europe witch is 200 km away. Closes beach actually 8 miles but that’s beach not EU. This people smuggling people and get paid from Soros. !

  3. Save them from the sea, a noble gesture. Transferring them a foreign country without permission from that country is accessory to people smuggling. Some of those charges are warranted.

  4. So does this mean that the Irish Navy will be prosecuted if it’s sent to aid migrants in the Mediterranean.
    Irish citizen
