Italian court: Migrant rescue ship can enter Italian waters
By EUobserver
An Italian judge ordered Italy to open its waters to the Spanish migrant rescue ship Open Arms, despite a new law by deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini to fine migrant rescue boats up to €1m if they entered Italian maritime zones. The Open Arms ship has 147 people on board amid a shortage of food and space. This week another ship, the Ocean Viking, rescued 356 people.
