A rescue boat funded by British street artist Banksy will be out of service for the next three weeks after Italian authorities seized it Sunday for violating orders to abort a migrant rescue operation.
The crew of the MV Louise Michel announced its 20-day detention Monday, saying it will take “all necessary steps to fight this detention.”
The bright pink boat that’s named after a French feminist anarchist is impounded at a port in Lampedusa after the Italian coast guard accused the charity ship of breaking new rules about assisting with rescue operations, according to The Guardian.
