Activists made it known they did not approve of the Maltese court's decision to seize its rescue ship Lifeline.

It's after a court hearing in Malta on Monday after rescuing around 230 migrants. The prosecutor says the ship was not properly registered but the groups operating both vessels deny any wrongdoing.
