The humanitarian shipAita Mari today embarked on its 16th mission , from the port of Castellón, to the central Mediterranean, one of the most dangerous migration routes in the world.
This new humanitarian mission coincides with a particularly tense moment with theentry into force of the New European Treaty on Migration and Asylum , legislation which the rescue and human rights organisation has described as a step backwards.
Maritime Humanitarian Rescue , the organisation responsible for the ship Aita Mari, has denounced that the new European legislation 'instead of offering dignified solutions, institutionalises express returns, systematic detention and expulsion of migratory control to countries that systematically violate human rights'.

In particular, Libyan patrols, many of them trained and funded by the European Union, intercepted persons at sea, are forced to return to Libya and, in many cases, are abandoned in the desert without water or means of subsistence.
