Laura Marmorale

activist Italy

Laura Marmorale is the president of Mediterranea Saving Humans, an NGO focused on rescuing migrants in distress at sea. Recently, she made headlines due to the administrative detention of the organization's ship, Mediterranea, which was grounded by Italian authorities for disobeying orders to dock at a distant port. Marmorale defended the decision to land in Trapani instead of the designated port of Genova, citing unsafe sea conditions and the urgent need to provide care to rescued individuals. Her statements reflect the ongoing tensions between humanitarian organizations and the Italian government regarding migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
