(ANSA) - Berlin, July 5 - Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
breached human rights with his policy of closing ports to NGO
run migrant rescue ships, Sea-Watch3 skipper Carola Rackete says
in an interview to be published Saturday by Der Spiegel.
"Salvini's policy violated human rights: his way of
expressing himself is disrespectful, it is not appropriate for a
high-level politician," she said after the minister branded her
a rich Communist "scamp".
The crew of the Sea-Watch3, she added, sent daily medical
reports on the condition of the 42 rescued migrants, also to the
Italian rescue centre in Rome, "but no one listened, no one
responded".
Rackete's lawyer said Friday the German NGO captain was set
to sue Salvini for instigating crimes after he called her
release "disgraceful" and she was threatened with rape on social
media.
