There is a booklet about the story of the El Hiblu 3, three teenagers who found themselves at the center of an international controversy in 2019. The booklet likely tells the tale of Abdalla, Abdul, and Kader, who were just 19, 16, and 15 years old when they were rescued off the coast of Libya along with over 100 other people. After convincing the captain of the oil tanker El Hiblu 1 to take them to Malta instead of returning to Libya, these young men faced unexpected consequences. Their actions led to accusations of terrorism, despite their claims of simply trying to protect fellow survivors from potential harm. The case has garnered significant international attention, highlighting complex issues surrounding migration, rescue operations, and the treatment of asylum seekers in European countries. The booklet probably provides a detailed account of their journey, the controversy surrounding their actions, and the ongoing legal proceedings that have kept them in limbo for years.
