The four boats - one with 72 people on board, one with 47, one with 55 and the last with 85 - were reported yesterday to Sea Watch by Alarm Phone, the telephone service for migrants in difficulty. Sea Watch herself had asked for the intervention of the European Commissioner for Human Rights "to clarify that the rights of the people saved at sea must be guaranteed regardless of which ship is rescuing them". The NGO then explained that the European Frontex agency has today reported the boats at sea, one of which is upside down.
