ROME—Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said on March 19 he wouldn’t let an Italian-flagged charity ship disembark 49 Africans rescued in the Mediterranean Sea, setting up a fresh confrontation with humanitarian groups over migration.
The Mare Jonio picked up the migrants, including 12 minors, on March 18 after their rubber boat began to sink in the central Mediterranean, some 42 miles off the coast of Libya.
