GENEVA - The United Nations human rights office called on Malta on Tuesday to drop terrorism charges against three African teenage migrants arrested for hijacking a small commercial tanker that rescued their vessel off the coast of Libya.
Many of the migrants, including several children, had been dehydrated and exhibiting “clear signs of torture”, U.N. human rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said. While the circumstances around the captain’s decision to finally steer the ship to Malta are disputed, the U.N. is deeply concerned by the severity of the charges.
