As a result of such actions, six people died. Another 13 people disappeared without a trace.
According to ABC news, referring to the data of the Migration Agency of the State of New York, Ethiopian migrants died when they were forced to jump into the sea. The incident occurred the next day, after about 50 migrants from Somalia and Ethiopia were "deliberately drowned" by smugglers on the other boat from Yemen.
The agency also noted that recently smugglers began to push migrants out of boats as the police approached them for fear of being arrested.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, on the west coast of Libya on June 3 on the shore found the bodies of 85 sunken passengers. These are passengers of a ship that tried to transport migrants from North Africa to Europe.
