Migrants disembarking after standoff
The rescued migrants on the "Salamis Filoxenia" on Sep 25 have agreed to disembark following a tense stand off with authorities. The situation was resolved shortly before dawn on Friday after police entered the vessel to talk to the remaining refugees, who finally agreed to leave. The registration of the refugees was ongoing, all have stepped down from the vessel on Sep 26. Around 300 rescued migrants - mainly women and children - had refused to leave the cruise liner. They had wanted to be disembarked in Italy and not at the port in Limassol. Most appeared to be Palestinians while others were from Syria. They finally realised that it was not possible to continue to other countries without first staying here and the procedures continuing. The loss for the cruise ship company was estimated to be several hundred thousand” euros through delays and cancellations.
