Migrant boat sinks in the Mediterranean, drowning migrants from Syria and Iraq

Falcon powers – According to a report in the local newspaper “il quotidiano del sud” on Thursday, June 27th, “

The migrant, who is most likely one of the alleged smugglers, climbed on top of the girl and pressed with all his strength on her chest with his legs, causing her to suffocate.

It has not yet been established whether there was an attempt at sexual violence.” Investigators listened to the statement of the deceased girl’s mother, which was also confirmed by other rescued refugees who are still receiving treatment in various Calabrian hospitals.

The report added that “the Iraqi man was placed in the Policlinico hospital, and then placed in the Catanzaro prison”, and that “there is no information about other survivors who had fled from the Lamezia Terme hospital, who are likely to also be smugglers.”

The Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq had announced on Tuesday, June 25th, the arrest of four “human traffickers” involved in the sinking of this boat.

According to what was reported by the “Daily Mail”, the survivors claimed that the man committed his unspeakable act after seeing his wife and daughter drowning, as reported by the Italian media, and “vented” his anger by taking revenge on the 16-year-old girl.
