‼ Abhorrent deception - Spanish NGO bears full responsibility for senseless migrant' deaths at sea

The Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms claims of "a rescue that came too late" could not be further from the truth.
The independent & multi-source tracking of the NGO "Open Arms" vessel movement between 19-25.07.2017 paints a very different picture. During this time the vessel on numerous occasions entered illegally the Libyan territorial waters and was conducting unauthorized "SAR patrols" at times even 1 nm from the shore! Such a reckless and illegal activity naturally could not produce any other results but tragedy. The mere presence of an NGO rescue vessel encourages the human traffickers to immediately launch unseaworthy boats packed with as many people as possible.
The dubious activity of the NGO vessel was reported to and scrutinized by the Italian Coast Guard. Additionally, when confronted with evidence and facing public backlash the Spanish NGO attempted to deny any wrongdoing by offering only a scurrilous explanation via twitter and claiming that: "our AIS signal has been hacked to show we're in Libyan waters" (sic!).
This is yet another example of NGO deception following their ulterior agenda at the cost of human lives.
