El Hiblu 3: 1,000 signatories ask Attorney General to drop charges
Over 1,000 people and organisations have called on the Attorney General Victoria Buttigieg to drop the charges against Amara, Abdalla and Kader, known collectively as the El Hiblu 3.

The teenagers were among 105 people who were rescued by the crew of an oil tanker, the El Hiblu 1, on their way to Malta. “As the El Hiblu 3 pre-trial hearings come to a close in Malta, the Attorney General must now decide which charges to bring against the three young men,” the letter reads. “We thus reiterate our demand that all charges be dropped and the trial be dismissed immediately.”Read the letter here.

If Giorgia Meloni is a ‘fascist’… what’s Malta’s entire political establishment?
If Giorgia Meloni is a ‘fascist’… what’s Malta’s entire political establishment? What are we to say about Meloni’s approach towards immigration, that it actually falls far short of the extremes that both Labour and PN have gone to, in their attempts to ‘discourage irregular immigrants from reaching our shores’?

Why Libya Lurches from One Crisis to The Next
A division emerged between the country’s wealthier west and the east that’s home to much of Libya’s oil production. Neither of Libya’s governments have managed to fully restore order in their territories or confiscate weapons looted during the overthrow of Qaddafi. As for European nations, Libya’s vast oil reserves -- Africa’s largest -- and its location just across the Mediterranean have given them a stake in the outcome. European governments appear most concerned with stopping Libya being used as a stepping-off point for African migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean. Libya’s oil reserves give it ample resources to pay for a national reconstruction effort, if only its political squabbles can be resolved.

Even the name of [INAUDIBLE] sets panic and fear among Iranian women. This is not to say that Iranian women are not present in society.

I’ve been speaking to Iranian women in different cities who are out protesting and who are involved in different ways.

More than 580 civilians killed in Libya in two years, report says
“The cases we have been able to document represent only the tip of the iceberg,” said OMCT Secretary General Gerald Staberock. “Extrajudicial executions of defenceless civilians, often accompanied by horrific torture, are now endemic in Libya as government agents and armed militias unleash indiscriminate violence with impunity,” he said. Staberock stressed that “the world cannot remain complacent and allow these heinous crimes to become the new normal”. Of the total 581 civilians killed, 487 died in the northern, eastern and western parts of the country, while the rest were killed in southern regions. The figure is in addition to the mass graves found in Tarhuna following the killings in April 2019.

Meloni's navy-blockade plan to stop Libya migrants 'unlikely'
Italy's incoming far-right government will most likely attempt to usher in reforms to deny people their right to asylum. Among them is a proposal for a "European military mission, carried out in agreement with the Libyan authorities," to stop people from fleeing towards Italy. The agreement helps finance the Libyan coast guard, including with boats, who then prevent departures in the first place. That means more money and boats for the Libyan coast guard. What is possibly more feasible is Meloni's idea of offshoring the entire asylum process to countries outside the European Union.
