Up to 700 people were estimated to be on board
ATHENS/BEIRUT - Egyptian electrician Mahmoud Shalabi was the only person from his hometown to survive when a fishing trawler crammed with migrants capsized off Greece a year ago, killing hundreds in one of the deadliest recorded boat disasters in the Mediterranean.
"Families are being tortured every day, not knowing anything about their son or their brother or their father." The coast guard declined to comment. Shipping minister Christos Stylianides said the courts will find out what happened, in time. "We have to be patient," he told Reuters. The situation on board was desperate. Supplies had run out. Shalabi was asleep below deck and woken by screams as the boat began to take on water. He swam to the surface, which was crowded with floating corpses.
A local naval court opened an investigation last year, but it is still at a preliminary stage, lawyers and government sources told Reuters.
