In today's episode, we speak with Sea-Eye spokeswoman Sophie. She tells us about saving 409 people aboard the Sea Eye 4 in May, what happened when the ship encountered the Libyan Coastguard during a rescue operation, and how the Italian authorities misused safety laws to stop the ship going back to sea. Sophie also talks about why Sea Eye's previous ship was named after Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian-Kurdish boy whose body was photographed face down on a Turkish beach in September 2015 --- Show notes --- For more on The Civil Fleet visit civilfleet.com You can find a glossary of the terms used in this episode here: bit.ly/3kGhkt0 For more on Sea Eye visit: sea-eye.org/en/ Or follow them on Twitter: @seaeyeorg Read more about the Amnesty International report on the detention centres in Libya here: bit.ly/3s2JOkn Get in touch: @FleetCivil [email protected] Support: patreon.com/civilfleet
