"Once the German NGO Sea Watch arrived in the scene where the Libyan coastguards were rescuing migrants, all migrants rushed to it even those who were saved and placed on board dinghies, most of them jumped in water leading to the death of five of them." The Libyan Naval Force indicated on its media office's Facebook page. "Libyan coastguards were doing well in rescuing the migrants, who were more than 110 onboard a boat off Libyan shores, but Sea Watch unauthorized intervention caused the death of five of them." It said that it had managed to rescue 58 migrants aboard the Sea-Watch 3, while Libyan coastguards "forced a few of the passengers" on their vessel and took them back in direction Libya. He added that the truth will be revealed in a press conference with evidence and proofs so the world can see the true horrible face of Sea Watch.
