Update on the Mediterranean Sea

In 2024, a record 8,938 refugees lost their lives, making it the deadliest year for displaced people worldwide, according to statistics published by #IOM.

The first quarter of 2025
- Italy has confirmed that the secret services used invasive military spyware Paragon #Graphite to monitor activists from Mediterranea Saving Humans and Refugees In Libya.

- Malta’s Prime Minister, Abela, said he will push to reform the European Convention on Human Rights, calling it "outdated", as he aims to simplify the deportation process for asylum seekers.

-The #EU Commission proposed the Common European System for Returns, a way to have faster deportations and "return hubs" in third countries, an indirect term for deportation centers.

- Mass graves containing the bodies of people on the move have been found in #Libya.

- The "State Trafficking Report” has exposed a human trafficking network involving #Tunisian police and military selling people on the move to armed Libyan groups and the Libyan army. All while Tunisia and Libya continue receiving European and Italian financial support.

383 missing or dead people have already been recorded in the Mediterranean in the first three months of 2025. Every single one of these deaths could have been prevented. Every single one has been accepted by the responsible politicians without turning a hair.

If a human life is no longer worth anything - what then?
Stand up for human rights for all! Stand in solidarity!

Cheap beer tomorrow!

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3. Peel Castle on the Isle of Man, taken on one of several visits (this one in 2017). I just like the colours and angles of this view through one of the more in tact sections. #Photography #Castle #PeelCastle #IsleOfMan #IOM #Architecture

For decades, the EU has invested much time, energy and resources in keeping undesirable migrants outside #FortressEurope. One of its partners is the #IOM, explains the study „Repackaging Imperialism“, facilitated by Transnational Institute:

Sometimes svgz icons are not so well supported in #HaikuOS #Icon-O-Matic tool (#IOM), having #Karbon around to open them and export them to #SVG sometimes does the trick and we can export the SVG icon to a rdef (text) file so we can use them in our recipes at #haikuports to set the icon on the application.
But somtimes even importing/exporting existing svg icons don't work.

Auf der #Atlantikroute zu den #Canarias wurde am letzten Wochenende die Zahl von 200.000 Ankünften überschritten, seit am 28. August 1994 auf #Fuerteventura 2 Männer aus der #Westsahara ankamen.

️ Viele haben die Überfahrt nicht überlebt oder sind verschwunden. Seit 2014 hat #MissingMigrants mind. 3.779 Opfer bestätigt, nur die Spitze des Eisbergs, wie #IOM selbst sagt: Caminando Fronteras hat allein 2022 auf dem Weg zu den #Canarias 1.784 Todesfälle gezählt.
