Nine arrested over capsized migrant boat

Nine crew members have been arrested for people smuggling after a packed vessel sank in the Mediterranean on Wednesday, killing dozens of people, as human rights campaigners accused Greek authorities of neglecting those on board. The Greek coastguard said nine Egyptian nationals aged between 20 and 40 were also arrested on suspicion of setting up a criminal organization, manslaughter by negligence, exposure to danger, and causing a shipwreck. The boat was traveling from the coastal city of Tobruk in Libya to Italy, when it capsized off the coast of Greece. At least 78 people have died and some reports said up to 750 were on board.
