in reply to Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦 • • •In some southern european states people, especially mariners, have had to appear in court proceedings for "assisting" illegal immigrants. Although I don't think they were incriminated by it, the message was clear, "let them drown or you may get in trouble for helping them".
Nearly the reverse of international marine law that states that you HAVE TO assist those at sea lacking navigation systems or propulsion.
