Europeans across the continent take to the streets to protest against what they call their governments’ violation of human rights. The protesters are angry at a halt to humanitarian missions including that of the boat the Aquarius. The vessel is the last one operated by NGOs and saves drowning asylum seekers in the Mediterranean Sea. Ramin Mazaheri reports from Paris.
