Italy's far-right Prime Minister Matteo Salvini's cabinet passes an emergency decree limiting charity ships rescuing migrants' access to Italian waters
Migrants are rescued by staff members of the MV Aquarius, a search and rescue ship run in partnership between SOS Mediterranee and Medecins Sans Frontieres in the central Mediterranean Sea.
Under the decree, boats entering Italian waters in violation of international law or ignoring the orders of Italian authorities can be fined from 11,313 USD to 56,632 USD . In the case of repeated violations, boats can be seized. Last month United Nations human rights experts wrote to Italy saying the draft decree was an attempt to criminalise search and rescue operations carried out by humanitarian groups.
