British warships rescue 541 migrants in latest drama at sea<\/span><\/h2>\n

This comes just three days after HMS Richmond arrived on task, with new powers to board and seize smuggling vessels, as well as detain people suspected of being migrant smugglers or human traffickers.<\/span><\/p>\n

British Warships Rescue<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even before HMS Richmond arrived on task, she was involved in identifying people smugglers on her way to her starting location, leading to the detention of suspected people traffickers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Royal Navy continues to demonstrate its invaluable work in the Mediterranean, saving 541 vulnerable lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our focus remains on hitting the criminal gangs responsible for endangering the lives of innocent people. We are determined to tackle this at source. The new powers we have to board boats and detain the smugglers will help us put an end to this trade in human misery.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The migrants were cared for by the military personnel on board the ships and have been transferred to the Norwegian support ship, Siem Pilote, to take them ashore and enable both HMS Enterprise and HMS Richmond to return to their original taskings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Including this latest rescue mission, the Royal Navy ships involved in the Mediterranean have rescued almost 7,000 migrants since May.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
