A group of 24 aid workers in Greece, accused of human trafficking while rescuing migrants on Lesbos, have been acquitted of all charges after a lengthy trial. Their case was criticized as an attempt to criminalize humanitarian aid. The presiding judge stated their actions were aimed at providing humanitarian assistance, not committing crimes. The verdict has been met with relief and anger from the defendants, who expressed frustration over the prolonged legal process. Human rights organizations hope this decision will promote solidarity and compassion in Europe.
