A Portuguese Miguel Duarte was 24 years old when he decided to join a maritime rescue crew in the central Mediterranean aboard a rescue vessel, the Iuventa.

"Acts of solidarity that ensure respect for the rights and dignity of migrants and refugees should be applauded and encouraged rather than criminalized," said a statement released by the Catholic Solidarity and Humanitarian Action organization.
