Seven Hours for Seven Years - Freedom for the El Hiblu 3
On Saturday 28th March 2026, we marked the 7th anniversary from the unjust arrest of the three young men, now known as the El Hiblu 3. Abdalla, Amara and Kader arrived in Malta were rescued from a sinking rubber boat in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
The El Hiblu 3 celebrated as Human Rights Defenders
On the 13th of April 2024, the Coalition for the El Hiblu 3 presented Abdalla Bari, Amara Kromah, and Abdul Kader with the Human Rights Defenders Award at the University of Malta, in Valletta. The three, known as the El Hiblu 3, received this award for the bravery and solidarity they showed when facing the threat of a pushback to Libya in 2019.
Solidarity Protest, January 2025
We were devastated and angry at the Appeal Court’s decision on 22 January 2025. The Court rejected the appeal by the El Hiblu 3’s lawyers arguing that the matter of jurisdiction, among others, should be considered at trial. The case will now likely continue to jury trial, although it is yet unclear at what speed that will happen.
