'Greetings from Lampedusa'


A group of Italian campaigners are sending postcards to Interior Minister Matteo Salvini to protest his hardline stance on migration and to draw attention to deaths at sea. Salvini has clamped down on ships that bring migrants rescued at sea to Italian ports, and said charity-run boats would "only see Italy in postcards". In response, a group of artists launched the 'only in postcards' campaign with the goal of raising awareness about migrant deaths at sea and the work of rescuers. The young creatives plan to send 10,000 postcards to the interior ministry and have called on artists and illustrators to submit their own designs. Source
