NGO ship comes ashore after being hounded by far-right mobs for eight days
The Mare Liberum docks at the port in Mytilene, Lesbos after spending eight days at sea hounded by far-right goons on land
THE crew of an NGO migrant-rescue ship in Greece finally came ashore today after fascists blocked their attempts to dock for eight days.
The Mare Liberum, a German ship which monitors the human rights of refugees in the Aegean, had left port at Skala Loutron, Lesbos, after it was attacked by a far-right mob on March 2.
The crew filmed the men pouring petrol on the deck of the ship before it escaped to deeper waters to anchor offshore.
