How much longer will the EU aid and abet torture?

While onboard the SOS Méditerranée ship Ocean Viking, Fellipe Lopes documented some stories of migrants who were brutally tortured in Libya

I recently returned from a mission aboard the Ocean Viking, where I witnessed both the best and the worst of humanity. 

Throughout four rescue operations in the central Mediterranean, we brought a total of 563 people to safety — people who, just days earlier, were enduring unimaginable horrors in Libya.
