Alarm Phone: 8 Wochen-Bericht
We have published our latest Alarm Phone report, entitled ‘Entering 2018, Mediterranean migration struggles continue’. It reflects on the radical transformations of the maritime borderzone in 2017, explores current developments in all three regions, and gives an account of the 17 emergency cases the Alarm Phone has worked on in the past 8 weeks.
Given the continuous atrocities in the Mediterranean Sea, it remains crucial also in the new year to mobilise against the forces that construct a deadly obstacle course for those who want to, and need to, escape. In light of the vicious criminalisation campaign against activist networks and humanitarian actors engaged in ‘flight help’ and/or rescue, what is required is a strong solidarity front that speaks back when activists and rescuers are turned into smugglers and criminals. We as the Alarm Phone network promise to do what we can also in 2018 to support disobedient movements through the sea. Between October 2014, when we launched the phone project, and until the end of December 2017, we have worked on a total of 1,925 emergency cases in the Mediterranean Sea.
