Summary of the case:
On the 30th of April 2021 in the early morning hours, the Alarm Phone was called by a group of 89 travelers (among them 46 women). They had started from Zawiya, Libya. Due to a bad connection, our shift team could not gather much information. We informed authorities, but our shift teams could not clearly assign a rescue or an interception to this case.
The case might be connected to the following Tweets of Sea-Watch International. Their crew spotted the remains of rubber boats and witnessed several illegal pullbacks by the so-called Libyan coastguard:
