More migrants rescued at sea, land in Lampedusa

Eleven migrants rescued from a small wooden boat were disembarked in the port of Lampedusa on Sunday. They were rescued at sea by Italian authorities after they were tracked by NGO Open Arms rescue ship.  Women, babies and men with high rate of dehydration were disembarked at the Italian island where the German captain of a migrant-rescue ship Sea-Watch 3, Carola Rackete, is under arrest, after she docked a day earlier.

After two weeks stranded at sea off southern Italy, captain Rackete, 31, has become a symbol of defiance in Italian media for challenging Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's policy of closing ports to non-government rescue ships.
