Heroes of the Sea
The RNLI flag flies in Ballycotton Harbour.
The RNLI operates one of Ireland’s busiest lifeboat stations at Ballycotton, which launched 57 times in 2023 alone, rescuing 49 people and assisting 67 others. The station operates an all-weather lifeboat capable of handling the most challenging sea conditions off the Cork coast. Ballycotton RNLI has a proud history dating back to 1858, and the station’s crews have been awarded numerous medals for gallantry, including gold medals for particularly heroic rescues. The RNLI is a charity that relies entirely on voluntary donations and is crewed by unpaid volunteers who undergo extensive training to perform rescues in some of the most dangerous maritime conditions around the British and Irish coasts.

📢 The Italian Constitutional Court’s recent ruling upholding a #law that imposes sanctions on #searescue groups casts a dark shadow over sea rescue, but that cloud has a silver lining: the court essentially said that the imperative to save lives justifies rescue ships disregarding state orders that could endanger migrants’ lives

In 2024, 106 people were accused of “facilitating irregular migration" - that’s nearly one arrest every three days.
We must dismantle policies that perpetuate violence and exploitation. Freedom of movement isn’t just a humane solution, it’s a political imperative!
Saving people's lives is not a crime

10 YEARS OF CIVIL SEA RESCUE
10 YEARS OF SOLIDARITY
10 YEARS OF REPRESSION
We refuse this deadly and unjust border regime! We refuse and resist against deportations and detention, against push backs and the criminalization of migration.
Migrant deaths are not a fatality!
Freedom of movement is a possibility, we saw it, and we see it every day in the cracks of Europe's borders!

#LouiseMichel zurück auf See
@louisemichel fand 1 Holzboot mit 20-30 Menschen und blieb, bis GDF übernahm u. alle sicher nach #Lampedusa brachte.
Gleichzeitig wurde 1 weiteres Boot in Seenot, das #Frontex entdeckt u. gemeldet hatte, wahrscheinl. abgefangen.
Frontex ist nachweislich an illegalen Abfangaktionen beteiligt und zwingt Menschen zurück nach #Libyen.
Die Louise Michel fährt weiterhin in diesem Gebiet, bereit zu helfen.
The Louise Michel is back at sea
Our crew assisted a boat with 30 people on board
Yesterday evening the Louise Michel departed from Sicily towards the Central Mediterranean. During the night our crew was alerted by the civil emergency hotline @alarm_phone about an overcrowded boat south of Lampedusa.
On the way there our crew found a wooden boat with 20-30 people on it and stayed until #guardiadifinanza za took over and brought everyone safely to #Lampedusa.
Meanwhile tragically another boat in distress, spotted and alerted by #frontex , has most likely been intercepted.
Frontex has been proven to be involved in illegal interceptions and pushing people back to #Libya.
The Louise Michel continues sailing in this area and is ready to assist.
Solidarity and Resistance
🟣 Alle 67 gestern von der #LouiseMichel im zentralen #Med geretteten Menschen konnten heute in #Catania von Bord gehen.
67 people on board the Louise Michel
Today 67 people, including an 8 months pregnant woman were safely embarked onto the Louise Michel.
The unseaworthy, wooden double decker boat was spotted previously from the civil aircraft Seabird, by @seawatchcrew
„We know about your hard and stressful working conditions as seafarers, so today we send you our deepest thanks for every rescue you have carried out!
In the Mediterranean Sea, as well as in the Atlantic and the English Channel, you often rescue refugees who are in distress. Sometimes the boats are small, and sometimes they are very big, and they are almost always overcrowded. We have seen how you carry out these rescues no matter the weather conditions, even though when the waves are high it is dangerous for you as well.
We know that when you provide help your vessel becomes delayed, meaning there is more stress and harder work for you in the next port. But your hearts are wide, and you don’t want to pass by when brothers, sisters and their children are close to drowning.
Today we want to say: we see you! We will never forget every one of you who did what they could to stand by the side of the people in distress...“
