Reposting this from Qasim Rashid, esq. on Mastodon.
(I do know this is discoverable from Mastodon but heck consider it a boost).
It’s a bit more nuanced than that, she’s accused of cooperating with smugglers to stage fake rescue operations, but the suit is still ongoing and I’m not sure if it’s legit or not. From what I’ve seen she seems to be a good person so the suit is possibly bogus.
That is not more nuanced those are plain facts. OP is plainly lying.
She is accused and jailed for voluntarily being a part of a smuggling operation, even when she was explicitly told not to do so by the Italian government.
Compared to completely normal rescue efforts when a boat or plane capsize, when workers are trapped in a mine, when someone is lost in the mountains, or when a bunch of nobodies are taken hostage by a criminal organisation, be it local or abroad.
Again, this is not nuance, those are commonly known facts that OP is lying about.
No, it’s nuanced. People smuggling worked like this… They would call her (and/or other NGO) and say “we just dropped x people in the sea at these coordinated, bye!”. She would go and pick them up (she would not make any money out of this).
What the xenophobic party that was (and kinda is) in power wanted is to her ignore the heads up and let people die in the sea. Because all that party promised to his (debatable) electors is more death in the sea (to scare the other migrants).
Also all this is polical because the vast majority of illegal immigration is through Balkans anyway

Ah and I’m sure you have a source for these “facts” and I’m sure they will stand up in court. It’s not like the Italian government would just bring unsustainable allegations for political reasons.
oh wait
they do
all the fucking time
