Episode 2: Criminalised for saving lives

In today's episode we speak with Sascha, a former head of operations on the Iuventa refugee rescue ship that saved around 14,000 lives between August 2016 and 2017. Sascha tells us what it was like working on the ship and how Italy's far right movement got the intelligence services to spy on their activities and how the cops seized the ship. --- Show notes --- If you like what the Civil Fleet is all about, you can find more on civilfleet.com Here's a glossary of some of the terms used in this episode: bit.ly/3kGhkt0 If you want to know more about the Iuventa case, visit iuventa10.org or see this interview I did last year with two other crew members: bit.ly/39paZ0C Get in touch: twitter.com/FleetCivil facebook.com/TheCivilFleet [email protected]
