And you see people who need help and decide not to help?Three Sevillian firefighters from Proemaid have been tried in Lesbos for saving hundreds of people in Greece. Laws, if necessary and adapted in most cases, become obsolete or dehumanized during periods of seizures and changes. .
The laws, which we all have to respect, sometimes go one way and the people in the other, is the case of these three firefighters who were tried to save the lives of those who could lose it on drifting boats.
- Fortunately.
- When laws do not protect human rights.
- There are people and associations dedicated to defending them.
- Thus.
- Associations such as Proemaid and Open Arms save those who try to reach Europe by fleeing war.
- Persecution or sea poverty.
- Punishment should target those who do not save the lives of those who fall into the sea.
- ‘water.
Today, firefighters who have been accused of human trafficking while on refugee rescue missions as NGO volunteers say they are “happy” and “relieved after their release. The decision shows that saving lives is not a crime,” one later said the court’s decision.
“Humanity is gaining more power every day; More happiness?. Yuval Noah Harari?
Everything’s coming back. Today there are others, yesterday it was us, tomorrow no one knows. We can’t live in a world that only looks at your belly button, because if we do well today, we don’t know what situation we’re going to face tomorrow.
If we create a world in which there is no compassion, there is no empathy and there is no justice, sooner or later we will “pay the price” as citizens and perhaps as a nation.
Under human trafficking mafias, there is a lack of sensitivity in society, if it is more than obvious that we must fight these mafias that dehumanize people, treating them as numbers, the place to fight them should not be the sea.
Therefore, the fight against these mafias must take place at the starting and arrival points, the battlefield must be on the continent. Innocent lives are in danger at sea, fleeing barbarism.
“The most developed countries are leading the world to disaster, while people considered primitives are trying to save the entire planet. Unless rich countries learn from indigenous peoples, we are doomed to destruction. “
Albert Einstein said the problem with man was not in the atomic bomb, but in his heart, in the case of associations that contribute internationally to the rescue work of women and men, boys and girls in extreme circumstances, his heart cannot be greater. For these people, it is better to act by exposing themselves to repentance than to repent if they have done nothing.
Lesbos’ decision clarifies and confirms that these associations do not deserve to be criminalised for saving lives, which are now considered mere objects, in this case and in other similar cases, undoubtedly humanitarian work which must be exempt from criminal liability, as guaranteed by the European Facilitation Directive.
This decision concerns not only these three Sevillian firefighters, but all the people who help save lives in the Mediterranean. We can’t judge the people who help. They tried to criminalize solidarity, criminalize humanitarian aid, but the final sentence showed that saving lives is not a crime.
“We are just an evolved race of monkeys on a planet smaller than a normal star. However, we can understand the universe. Does that make us something very special?
