After nearly eight years of legal uncertainty, the court in Mytilini acquitted all 24 defendants on January 15, 2026, in the case against the rescue organization ERCI. Among them was Dutch humanitarian worker Pieter Wittenberg (78). According to the prosecutor, it could not be proven that there was a criminal organization, espionage, or any other form of illegal cooperation.
The volunteers had been observing boats carrying refugees at sea in order to assist people in distress and transfer them to the authorities. The acquittal brings an end to a years-long legal case that became a symbol of the criminalization of humanitarian aid at Europe's external borders.
I graduated in Journalism in June 2025, driven by a deep curiosity for the world and a belief in honest storytelling. Since December 2025, I have been training as a remote editor for short- and long-form social media content, focusing on shaping raw footage into meaningful, engaging narratives.
Alongside editing, I work as a videographer and journalist, capturing the world in all its aspects, the beautiful and the difficult, the visible and the unseen. Guided by a strong moral compass, I believe storytelling comes with responsibility, and that powerful visuals should never come at the cost of truth.
This is where I share my work: edited social content, visual journalism, and documentary-style projects, stories that reflect not just what I do, but who I am.
