Alex, a Sudanese refugee, has won the case against the Italian Government. He has finally seen his rights recognized and can enter Italy.
In June 2021, a ship – under Italian and Frontex control – pushed Alex and 170 other people back to Libya, ignoring their asylum requests. The ruling of the Court established that Italy is responsible for having transmitted the coordinates of the boat in distress to the Libyan coast guard, facilitating the pushback.
Thanks to the support of NGOs such as Sea Watch and Alarm Phone, and the legal assistance of Sciabaca & Oruka, Alex has obtained a visa for Italy. We at JLProject are proud to have contributed to this victory.
Alex, after four years of injustice, can finally get back what he deserved: the chance to live in Italy, in safety.
