Hollywood star Richard Gere speaks out to support migrants stranded on rescue ship.
LAMPEDUSA, Italy — Hollywood star Richard Gere on Saturday called on the Italian government to stop"demonising people" and instead help migrants who have been stranded on a Spanish charity boat in the Mediterranean for more than a week.
Gere, who visited the Open Arms ship in a show of support on Friday, joined a news conference in the Italian island of Lampedusa to call for the 160 migrants stuck on the boat to be allowed to disembark. He compared the political situation in Italy, where League leader and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has, to that of the U.S. administration of Donald Trump.
"We have our problems with refugees coming from Honduras, Salavador, Nicaragua, Mexico...It's very similar to what you are going through here," he said, accusing politicians in both Italy and the United States of demonising migrants.An image grab taken from a video released by the Spanish NGO Proactiva Open Arms on Friday shows actor Richard Gere speaking on board the charity's boat transporting 121 migrants rescued from the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
