German migrant rescue ship captain who disobeyed Italy’s orders ‘in secret location’ after threats

The German captain of a rescue charity ship who provoked the anger of Italy’s interior minister by bringing 41 African migrants to an Italian island has received threats and been moved to a secret location, according to the charity she works for.

Rackete called the decision by Judge Alessandra Vella “a great victory of solidarity towards all migrants, against the criminalization of those who want to help them.”
