flag A Greek court on January 15, 2026, acquitted 24 humanitarian workers, including Syrian activist Sarah Mardini, of charges related to migrant rescues on Lesbos, ruling their actions were humanitarian, not criminal. flag The seven-year trial, which began in 2018, ended with the court finding no credible evidence of criminal intent or profit, rejecting claims they operated a smuggling network. flag Prosecutors had recommended acquittal, and the verdict was welcomed by human rights groups who criticized the case as an attempt to deter lifesaving aid. flag The ruling marks the second acquittal for the group, following a 2023 decision, and highlights ongoing concerns over the criminalization of solidarity and the impact of such prosecutions on search and rescue efforts in the Aegean.
