Sara e Yusra Mardini, le protagoniste di The Swimmers:

“We tried to cross, we tried to survive. We just wanted to live in peace again after we crossed"

Sara Mardini: “It has been ongoing for 4 years. I am banned from Greece so I have to wait for permission to be granted to return. If they allow me to testify then I will go to court on the 10th of January.” Human Rights Watch has categorically refuted the charges, supporting her innocence by releasing a statement saying that “The slipshod investigation and absurd charges, including espionage, against people engaged in lifesaving work, reek of politically motivated prosecution.” Amnesty International has called them “unfair and baseless."
