The Libyan coast guard has detained two people from the rescue charity Sea-Eye after they entered the North African country's territorial waters from Tunisia without authorization. The 11,5 meter speedboat belongs to the charity Sea-Eye, which uses it in its mission to save migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe.
