Giving a voice to people who have none
The central Mediterranean is one of the deadliest flight routes in the world. Almost 24,000 people have drowned there since 2014. The European Union, which sees itself as the guardian of humanitarian values, is shirking its duty to rescue people in distress at sea. Europe is knowingly abandoning the unwelcome people seeking protection. The numbers of drowned people, breaches of the law and human rights violations continue to rise. The Mediterranean is not only a mass grave, but also a crime scene.
Impressions from the past years:
The actors on stage at Tatort Mittelmeer read out eyewitness accounts from crew members and the personal experiences of those rescued. We also try to give a voice to the unheard on our website. Here you can get an impression of what those rescued on board have to say.
