Excited with these news. We've been following this case for our documentary "I'm Alaa Hamoudi: Anatomy of an illegal pushback" for a long time. Alaa Hamoudi deserves a fair closure to his sad story. Fingers crossed, yeah! 🤞

"Lorsque le directeur de Frontex, Hans Leijtens, donne l'ordre à un officier de remettre un bateau détecté dans les eaux internationales à la milice mafieuse des garde-côtes libyens, les deux hommes savent qu'ils renvoient ces hommes et ces femmes au viol, à l'esclavage, à la torture et à la mort."

“When the director of Frontex, Hans Leijtens, orders an officer to hand over a vessel detected on the high seas to the Libyan militia, both know they are sending those people to rape, slavery, torture, and murder,” explains @iftachco.bsky.social, co-director of @front-lex.bsky.social

As per the Rome Statute, if the Italian judiciary is unable to prosecute, the ICC Prosecutor is obliged to proceed with front-LEX's #ICC case against them. At the ICC, no immunities apply, and the Ministers face up to five years in prison for obstruction of justice

"We are facing the complete collapse of the rule of law at the ICC," Shatz comments...5 years and no prosecution, despite the crimes having been acknowledged... the EU is the last... political and financial friend of the ICC. Realpolitik is a truly sad thing"

We shouldn’t have to say this in 2025: hunting human beings is illegal––like many of Frontex’s activities, from cooperating with the Hellenic Coastguard to sharing the location of migrant boats with Libya, for which we have taken the agency to Court.
