Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) announced that the ship Geo Barents, which they use to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean, was seized by the Italian authorities.
The ship was reportedly anchored in the Sicilian port of Ancona after rescuing 48 migrants on February 17.
MSF spokesperson Maurizio Debanne said the ship was seized late Thursday for 20 days and will be fined between 2,000 and 10,000 euros.
Debanne said he was accused of failing to share information he said he had never been asked to share before, including voyage data recorder (VDR) information on the ship's position and movement.
"Punishing while saving lives is unacceptable," MSF said on social media.
"Today our team had to go back to sea to prevent more deaths in the central Mediterranean. Who will pay the real price for the detention of Geo Barents? People crossing the Central Mediterranean will be left without help."
MSF was supported by other aid organizations
SOS Mediterranee, a non-governmental organization working to save lives in the Mediterranean, also supported MSF.
"The detention of the Geo Barents is extremely worrying," the organization said, "The Central Mediterranean has once again been deprived of a vital rescue asset. Civilian rescue vessels only fill the deadly vacuum left by EU States in the Central Mediterranean. The criminalization of search and rescue at sea must stop."
SOS Mediterranee operates the Ocean Viking, a migrant rescue vessel in the Mediterranean. The Ocean Viking caused a crisis between Italy and France, which refused to take more than 200 migrants it rescued last November, resulting in France allowing the ship to dock at the port of Toulon.
New rules allow one rescue at a time
MSF attributed the detention to a new decree issued by the government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Sicily. Yesterday, the Italian parliament approved a proposal to enact new regulations on rescue ships assisting migrants at sea.
The government accuses aid ships of acting as a luring factor for and encouraging human traffickers. The new rules therefore allow aid ships to carry out only one rescue at a time.
Aid organizations, on the other hand, say that this and similar practices in the new rules will increase their costs. Critics worry that the new rules will lead to an increase in the number of people dying at sea.
Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, has been in power since October, vowing to reduce the number of migrants arriving in Italy.
