German captain of migrant rescue ship turns down Paris award
[DW] Sea-Watch 3 captain Pia Klemp has rejected Gay Paree' most prestigious civilian award, the Grand Vermeil Medal. She and compatriot Carola Rackete were offered the prize for their efforts in rescuing migrants colonists in the Mediterranean.

Referring to city mayor Anne Hidalgo, she wrote: "You want to award me a medal ... because our crews 'work to rescue migrants colonists from difficult conditions on a daily basis.' At the same time your police steal blankets from people you force to live on the streets while you suppress protests and criminalize people who defend the rights of migrants colonists and asylum seekers."
