Humanitarian action in Europe has been increasingly criminalised over the last years. France and Italy have forbidden citizens from giving food, water, and shelter to refugees and migrants. Hungary passed the so called "Stop Soros" law, criminalising individuals and NGOs helping migrants claim asylum. Poland criminalises aid at the Polish-Belarusian border. But no case gets for media attention at this moment than the Free Humanitarians one. In this episode Sean Binder, who is prosecuted on Lesvos for his humanitarian actions talks about the danger of the EU and national laws that allow to imprison people who simply show solidarity with those seeking asylum.
