A Spanish charity, Open Arms, dedicated to rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean, has reported that its ship, also named Open Arms, has been once again detained by Italian authorities. The organisation accuses Rome of harassment, citing a new 20-day blockade and a potential fine of up to 10,000 euros ($10,500).

This recent detention follows a previous incident in August when the ship, along with two other rescue vessels, was accused of breaking a controversial new law. The law mandates that charities must return to port between every rescue, and only to the port designated by Italian authorities.
