In Palermo, the trial involving former Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has sparked intense debate.
The case centers around the 2019 incident where the NGO Open Arms was blocked from disembarking migrants rescued at sea.
Oscar Camps, founder of Open Arms, testified that the migrants were kept in inhumane conditions, contradicting the defense's narrative.
Meanwhile, Giulia Bongiorno, Salvini's lawyer and a senator, argued that the NGO was aimlessly wandering the sea and that Salvini was merely protecting national borders.
The trial highlights the ongoing tension between humanitarian efforts and national security policies in Italy.
