Activists to prevent English Channel becoming ‘a mass migrant graveyard like the Mediterranean’
A group of people thought to be migrants are brought into Dover, Kent, onboard a Border Force vessel following a number of small boat incidents in the Channel earlier today
A MIGRANT rescue group promised yesterday to “not sit back and allow” the England Channel to “become a mass graveyard like the waters of the Mediterranean.”
Channel Rescue, which launched last Thursday and surpassed its £10,000 funding goal in less than 24 hours, will be launching a human rights monitoring mission off the Kent coast.
“The idea for Channel Rescue originated in conversations between friends who have over 20 years of experience in migrant solidarity work, community activism and anti-racist campaigning,” the group said in a statement.
