Limassol (Cyprus) (AFP)

Almost 300 mostly Syrian refugees rescued by a cruise liner were refusing Friday to disembark in Cyprus’s southern port of Limassol, demanding instead to be taken to Italy, the cruise company said.

A total of 345 migrants, mainly women and children, had been plucked from a boat in trouble off the coast of Cyprus on Thursday by a Salamis Cruise Lines ship, according to the company and Cypriot authorities. Some 700 paying passengers disembarked from the 157-metre liner, police said, but only 65 of those rescued at sea left the ship. The others refused to budge, the shipping company said.

„Cyprus cruise liner rescues 300 refugees

AFP

Nicosia AFP – A cruise liner returning from Greece was pressed into action in rough seas off Cyprus Thursday to rescue some 300 people thought to be Syrian refugees whose trawler had run into trouble. The refugees, mostly women and children, were loaded aboard the Salamis Filoxenia cruise liner and were in „good health“, according to George Ppouro, the harbour master in the Cypriot port of Limassol.

The vessel was expected to dock at around 9:00 pm 1800 GMT in Limassol, where the interior ministry said the migrants would be given health checks. The liner had been en route from the Greek island of Syros to Limassol when it received a call to assist in the rescue operation. The trawler sent out a distress signal at 6:25 am 0325 GMT when it was about 50 nautical miles southwest of the tourist hub of Paphos, the Cypriot government said.

Alarmphone

For Boatpeople in Distress at Sea and in Cases of Pushback

The Watch The Med Alarm Phone is a ‘hotline’ for people in distress at sea. Our hotline will run 24/7 and will immediately raise alarm when refugees and migrants get into situations of distress at sea and are not promptly rescued. It will be managed by human rights activists from both sides of the Mediterranean and offer a multilingual team that will first advise all persons in distress to alert the officially responsible rescue teams. The Watch The Med Alarm Phone does not possess rescue-teams and we cannot offer direct protection. When a distress call is received, we will call the coast guards ourselves, and follow up on their response, making known to them that we are informed and ‘watching’ them. If they fail to respond, we will gather all imaginable political and public pressure to force them to do so.

Überlebende der „Massenmord“-Schiffskatastrophe (400 Tote) berichten in Griechenland, dass vier Schiffe an ihnen vorübergefahren sind, als sie zu Hunderten im Wasser ums Überleben kämpfen. Sie ließen sie sterben. Unterlassene Hilfeleistung der Festung Europa! Die auf Sizilien festgehaltenen Überlebenden werden nach wie vor von den Behörden von der Außenwelt isoliert, nicht einmal ihre Namen sind bekannt. Palästinensische Angehörige aus aller Welt sind nach Sizilien geflogen und suchen verzweifelt nach Anzeichen, wo sich die Überlebenden befinden könnten.
