🤝🚨 In June 2018, the NGO rescue vessel Lifeline rescued 234 people in distress in the Mediterranean after days stranded at sea while Maltese authorities delayed permission to disembark.

⚖️ Together with our partners at Mifsud and Mifsud Advocates, we defended its captain, Claus-Peter Reisch, who was charged with criminal offences.

In 2020, the Maltese Court of Criminal Appeal overturned his conviction and revoked the €10,000 fine.
➡️The judge found that the captain acted with no criminal intent and aimed to save lives.

The conversation around whether Pride is still relevant (intentionally) distracts from far more pressing (and uncomfortable) discussions we need to have:

1. Malta's steady increase in HIV diagnosis rate.
2. TCN's unable to benefit from Malta's gender recognition procedures.
3. A legal framework that fails to protect the community from discrimination.
4. LGBTIQ+ refugees unable to 'prove' their identities.
5. Conservative and patriarchal approaches towards personal freedom and expression.
6. Lack of dedicated shelters for vulnerable members of the community.

So can we please ignore YouKnowWho and get on with the more important issues?

“We need to understand not everyone can cope.”

From barriers to healthcare and delayed diagnoses to the silent struggles many migrant women face, Episode 11 of Empower to Integrate explores why access to support matters.

Tune in this Wednesday at 1:00 PM on RTK 103.

The project is funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and co-financed by the European Union, in collaboration with the Parliamentary Secretariat for European Funds.

This project has been part-funded by the NGO Co-Financing Fund (NCF), managed by the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector (MCVS), supported by the Ministry for Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector (MIV).

Was this boat brought to Malta's attention earlier and ignored?

Was it deemed not to be in distress?

Will the Armed Forces disclose all information on this operation?

Italian authorities joined the search on Sunday afternoon at the request of Maltese authorities
