The central Mediterranean: a place where anger, sadness and relief are so close together. A place where we have to watch human rights being systematically broken. This is exactly where Sea-Watch, together with the Swiss NGO "Humanitarian Pilots Initiative" (HPI), has been flying since 2017 to document human rights violations by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard. The film "Seabird: The Civil Eye" makes it clear that the EU must end the cooperation with the so-called Libyan coast guard and should instead stand up for safe escape routes for all people seeking protection.
