Med 'cemetery' unacceptable, Mattarella

(ANSA) - Zagreb, April 23 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella said Thursday that it was intolerable that a long series of migrant-boat disasters have turned the Mediterranean into a sort of graveyard and demanded robust action to combat people traffickers. "It's unacceptable that the Mediterranean should become a big cemetery, a place of burial for those looking for a better life and running away from famine," Mattarella said in Zagreb during an official visit to Croatia.
    "Traffickers of human beings should be combatted with all the strength and vigor possible".
