The migrant rescue vessel Sea-Watch 3 was stopped outside the island of Lampedusa by Italian authorities on Wednesday after it defied an order from Rome blocking it from coming ashore
The German-owned ship, which flies under the Dutch flag, had been stranded in the Mediterranean Sea for two weeks.Facing an increasingly desperate situation on board, the captain of the boat said she had decided to ignore Italy's decree and head to port."I know what I'm risking," Carola Rackete said on Twitter."But the 42 survivors I have on board are exhausted. I'm taking them to safety.
"They have checked our ship certificate and the passports of the crew and now they are awaiting further instructions from their superiors," Rackete said, referring to the Italian financial police."I really hope they will take the rescuees off the ship soon," she added.But the reaction from Salvini suggested otherwise."Lampedusa and Italy need paying tourists, not illegal immigrants whom we need to support," the interior minister said on Twitter.
