Sailing against fortress Europe

The Wendland sends a Ship!

TROTAMAR III is free again

Our sailing ship, the Trotamar III, is free again! After about two weeks, the detention has ended, and we are once again allowed to sail out to sea. 

However, this does not mean that all charges against us have been dropped: Since our crew did not notify the Tunisian authorities during a rescue of 18 people on April 21st, the court in Agrigento (Sicily) is still demanding a fine of 7,500 euros from us. 

👩‍⚖️ We are taking this unlawful penalty to court! Our lawyers have already filed an appeal against the detention and the fine. Tunisia is not a safe place for people on the move!🤝 To cover the lawyers’ fees and court costs, we need your help! Donate to the Trotamar III and support our crowdfunding campaign. Link in bio
