Migrant-rescue ship Ocean Viking impounded in Brindisi. The ship, which docked in the port early on Friday with 261 migrants on board, had been impounded for 20 days for an alleged breach of the 'Piantedosi Decree' The decree restricts the activities ofNGO-run ships.
Under the legislation, the ships must immediately request the authorities assign them a port of safety after making a rescue and head to it, rather than staying at sea to help other people.
