The stalemate lasts for a few days

The stalemate lasts for several days. The Coast Guard has given permission to humanitarian organizations to take care of migrants, said MSF's Julien Raickman. He pleaded for a non-violent solution.

The rescued crew members come from Eritrea, Somalia and Bangladesh. "We talked to people who were tortured on the road to migration," said Raickman, who wants the most vulnerable migrants not to be locked up. "It seems unusual that the United Nations can not offer an alternative to these people."
