In March 2011, 63 migrants died off the coast of Lybia. One year later, survivors of this tragedy filed a complaint against the French army for failing to assist a person in danger. The French Ministry filed their complaint away.

On June 18, survivors, GISTI, FIDH, LDH and Migreurop will file a complaint with civil party in France and in Spain, which will require the opening of a criminal investigation in both countries.

Speakers:

  • Patrick Baudouin, FIDH honorary president, lawyer at FIDH and LDH
  • Gonzalo Boye, Spanish lawyer, initiator of the file in Spain
  • Abu Kurke, plaintiff and survivor of the tragedy
  • Stéphane Maugendre, GISTI President, lawyer of the survivors, of GISTI and Migreurop
