Prime Minister Meloni,
I am writing to express my outrage at your government’s intention to renew the migration agreement with Libya which knowingly puts migrants and refugees at risk of torture, slavery, abuse and even death.
Your government cannot pretend it does not know what happens to migrants intercepted and returned to Libya. The United Nations has documented it. Human rights groups have exposed it. Survivors have testified to it. Renewing this agreement makes you complicit in these crimes.
The vote in the Deputy of Chambers does not absolve you. There is still time to act. And there is still time for you to be remembered differently. If you proceed, you will be remembered as the Prime Minister who chose cruelty, knowing exactly what it would cost.
I join thousands across the world demanding that you stop this renewal now.
History is watching.
