In this episode, we speak to Anna di Bari, board member of the civilian sea rescue organisation Sea-Eye. For ten years, civilian crews have been rescuing people who risk their lives fleeing across the Mediterranean – filling a gap that European states deliberately leave open. Anna di Bari reports on why civil sea rescue is indispensable today, how the situation at sea has changed dramatically and why the criminalisation of rescue missions is an attack on fundamental human rights. We talk about political responsibility, about the shifted debates surrounding migration – and about why the simple stance „people must not drown“ should actually be a matter of course.
