Since 2015, the corpses of 20 people who died at sea, traveling in a boat carrying about 600 people attempting to reach Europe, are buried in a government grave in Adoloratta cemetery. We believe that this tragedy is part of the European history and should be recognized as such. Till this day, no plaque identifies this grave. The corpses have not been identified and to our knowledge no attempt to do so have been made.

We believe that these deaths at sea are not an external accident, but the result of the European politics.

Wrecked fishing boat that capsized and sunk on April 18, 2015 off the coast of Libya, lies outside a Nato base in the Sicilian town of Mellili, Italy. More then 750 people died inside the boat.

History and heritage are political narratives that are too often putting aside the tragedies of the outcasts. We want a more inclusive society, and therefore we want a society that responsibly looks at its past and deaths. These deaths happened in Mediterranean sea, they are therefore part of European history.

Although this march will take place during the Mahalla Festival and the Utopian Nights, these events will not be namely represented in the march. As a matter of fact, we would like this march, like the one done in April 2016, to be made in the name of the People of Europe, and not representing any NGO.

The meeting is to be held on the wednesday 31st October at 6pm at the Malta Center for Voluntary Service in Melita street, Valletta.
