Spanish Charity Ship Threatens to Defy Italian Authorities

VOA News

   The Open Arms charity says it is willing to defy Italian authorities
   and dock their migrant ship at Lampedusa.

   The boat with about 100 migrants is stationed in the Mediterranean Sea
   off the Italian island, demanding permission to dock after 18 days at
   sea.

   "We have exhausted physically, morally and technically the few
   resources that this organization has in this moment," Open Arms founder
   Oscar Camps told Reuters on Monday.
