santa's tree there the only source of water for the hundreds of detainees. this dormitory where the prisoners are all swash together also serves as a kitchen a portable gas stove is used to prepare the meal of the day popcorn another detainee has some stale bread and it landed in one of the. fire. it's difficult to have a proper conversation with this man the people behind us seem to on nerve him the further you can be sure here it's ok you know if that 5 situation if it were to be what you want to escape from here you want to go how it was when i was here but i want to i just want to play about it for a layer. after a few minutes are absent says noted the director comes to find us himself he orders us not to use the videos filmed inside the center as this could put try it in

a bad light. back outside we spoke to a representative from the un refugee agency and approached him. to come up with. to do the job. what was asked in july 2020 the un h.c.l. published a report documenting cases of violence torture and abuse in the african part of the mediterranean migration routes including in zawiyah. as he sees us out ahead of the camp confiscates the elastic rope this child was playing with. these videos procured from legal experts in europe were filmed in secret by the detainees with them mobile phones they might be used as proof to initiate legal proceedings in the future. here the detainees have beaten with clubs.

in this video shots can be heard from inside the center according to witnesses at least 4 detainees are said to have been injured on this night. my. to escape this how migrants must either bright the guards with almost 1000 euros worth of libyan dinas who find another way to flee like emmanuelle. we're in barrie italy 3 months after being rescued by the ocean viking crew emmanuelle has found refuge here we can sit down. we show him off to teach from the detention center in zawiya. where you're there. even when i was there that was the somali side. oh that's

inside the large cell of the m we called it the kosovo. he's referring to the kosovo war in the balkans in the late 1990 s. . and winter it gets very cold there because it's such a big room that's where they beat you where they abuse you where they do everything they always took us and. sometimes when i was in that huge cell there was only one person in there and that person was the one being tortured so we called that cell the cause of all. the men who had also recognizes the head of the detention center . so so that's the bearded man i know him with his hypocritical laugh. when organizations n.g.o.s visit the center he pretends to be very nice blah blah blah blah but when they leave it's like hell again he didn't hit me but he slapped a woman in front of me he saw her and he hit her bam in winter he locked up

a woman and her baby she had just given birth of the. according to the beaded man is also the one misappropriating the humanitarian aid. for him there they came to distribute blankets and mattresses after that truck arrived. he made us go out and load all that stuff into the truck the truck left with everything what you watch over so he's diverting humanitarian aid. yes he said i'm telling you what happened to me he gave us the order in person to load the truck we loaded it and at leisure. say bye to. everyone who went through that prison would love to one day find out that it's been destroyed that it no longer exists. that it no longer exists super. cool the european union supports libya since 2017 the e.u.

has spent more than 90000000 euros training and equipping the libyan coast gaunt the goal is to catch migrants trying to cross the mediterranean and bring them back to libya. humanitarian organizations working in this regularly prevented from carrying out their operations. we flew over the sea with who say ben event a friend tace on board his colleague at the age of 50 this professional pilot founded the n.g.'s going on 10 or voluntary time that says he and a friend spent their life savings on this single engine aircraft. the truck you look at where about 100 kilometers from the libyan coast if an ngo boat had been in the zone it would have been able to rescue them but for months the authorities have been doing all they can to stop n.g.o.s from coming back out here whenever they arrive at the ports with rescue people on board they're accused of

being people smugglers among other cats and the return to sea is delayed for as long as possible clearly it's to make sure there are no witnesses at the scene of a crime the people. after a year and a whole flying high could leave breeze missions are also hold to it by an administrative procedure he needs to. this time we need to say enough produce his plane is now grounded. only for we are authorized to go on recreational flights with this aircraft. target fights over italy and over your. and generally it's. on but we're no longer allowed to fly over international waters over the libyan coast want to

continue. we're back aboard the ocean viking tongue he and his crew from s.o.s. made it to the knee and doctors without borders are once again plying the washes off the libyan coast. and the stores for our mission is sacred. that's what they taught me in the army i'll continue to do this for as long as it's needed for as long as i'm able or until they stop me from doing it of course for. today the 18th of october 29th marks the 3rd rescue operation of the month it's another overloaded inflatable boat full of men women and children to have a feeling that this was. as they climb aboard the ocean viking the 104 rescued people assure that they have

secured their freedom however since 2017 at the initiative of the european union a new rescue zone has been established when a boat is in this sector the libyan coast guards is supposed to intervene and take the migrants back to libya. and this is exactly where the ocean viking is currently on patrol the crew takes the lead by informing both the libyan and the european also routines of their intervention via e-mail. the libyans are the 1st to respond. or does it given to dock at tripoli harbor for the captain and crew that's entirely out of the question. so it's an acceptable where out on the open sea just stop the coast of italy and there ha. oddly responding to our messages. we sent an e-mail to the italian coast guard and they told us that it's not up to them to sort this out they're not responsible so where

should we go we've been told to go back to libya. so what do we do go back to libya where there's a war raging you know it's unacceptable that's not what maritime law states. according to maritime law the rescue people must be taken to a safe location unbeknown to everyone on board a power struggle has just broken out between the ocean viking and the e.u. . but days after the rescue the ocean viking gets caught in a storm. the freighter is being buffeted by me to high waves. was it. we feel bad really bad. for the crew members the tension is also rising. seas we send the 1st

force request though it is deceiving me and apply and just a few minutes ago i just brought an email asking if there were any feedback or any update for us. and we just wait and. the word wait means going around in circles the ocean viking has become a prisoner of the mediterranean the ship is shuttling back and forth between mull to and the italian island of lampedusa this puts pressure on the all star a tease from both countries but all of this back and forth worries the survive as. at the moment we're headed southeast asia it's not that it's not libya is in the south. of seattle oh it really scares us because we don't want to go south again you know you should be all over. this they'll have to return to their past hell

it's more than a week after the rescue and the still no european pool. that is willing to accept the 104 pass and just 2 days later the ocean viking wins the palace struggle italy agrees to it in its home but an agreement has been struck between italy france and germany to take in the 104 passengers the ocean viking heads for the port of put saddle in sicily visible on the floor i don't know how to define this feeling. so it's it should be systematic and it's not. yes right now it's a relief. but it's not a total relief because next time it could be the same we might have to wait for days again even though it's against the law. so yes right now it's a relief but a huge relief no not yet. it may not be a big relief for the crew but it certainly is for the migrants cause

was. the next morning after injuring libya and all its horris of to risking their lives at sea the 104 rescued people will finally reach the a rep for them this continent means freedom. a welcoming committee comprised of humanitarian aid workers and police officers awaits them one by one the 104 passengers are examined by health professionals. but this mandatory step doesn't prevent some final moments of celebration. 12 days after their rescue the passengers finally set foot on solid ground over the

past few years s.o.s. meditate honey and doctors without borders have rescued more than certain 1000 people at sea. but later in july 2020 the ocean viking would be detained in italy. how much longer will such vessels and that humanitarian rescue us be allowed to continue that lifesaving work on the mediterranean. do you carmakers. do you think you can make a car out of trash. look at our luca. it's fully electric super efficient. road where they. don't waste car.
