Over 1,000 people and organisations have called on the Attorney General Victoria Buttigieg to drop the charges against Amara, Abdalla and Kader, known collectively as the El Hiblu 3. The three teenagers were accused in 2019 of having committed acts of terrorism, threatening a crew and hijacking a ship. The teenagers were among 105 people who were rescued by the crew of an oil tanker, the El Hiblu 1, on their way to Malta. “As the El Hiblu 3 pre-trial hearings come to a close in Malta, the Attorney General must now decide which charges to bring against the three young men,” the letter reads. “We thus reiterate our demand that all charges be dropped and the trial be dismissed immediately.”Read the letter here.
