[AMA] We were jailed for 100 days and face 25 year sentences for saving refugees and asylum seekers from drowning off the coast of Greece

In 2018 an average of six people each day died attempting to cross the Mediterranean from the Middle East and Africa, according to a UNHCR report.
That’s why we (Sarah and Seán) volunteered for a search and rescue organisation based in Lesvos.
Our job was to help spot boats in distress at sea and help refugees. One of us (Sarah) knew all too well about the dangers of sea crossings, having almost sunk in a dinghy fleeing Syria in 2015.
But our mission was cut short when we were arrested by Greek authorities and spent more than 100 days in prison before being released on bail in December last year.
If the Greek court finds us guilty we could both face 25 years in prison.
AUA.
