Christian
refugees have revealed how they linked arms to form a 'human chain' in a
desperate bid to stop Muslim migrants throwing them into the sea after
an argument about religion.
A
group of 15 men were arrested on suspicion of 'multiple aggravated
murder motivated by religious hate'.last week after 12 Christians from
Ghana and Nigeria were allegedly thrown off a rubber dinghy into the
Mediterranean Sea.
Survivors
from the boat, made up of 105 migrants from diverse religions and
ethnicities, have now claimed the men tried to throw other Christians
off the side of the vessel after an argument about religion - but were
prevented because they huddled together to create a human chain.

Fifteen men were arrested on suspicion
of 'multiple aggravated murder motivated by religious hate'.last week
after 12 Christian men from Ghana and Nigeria were allegedly thrown into
the Mediterranean Sea
Yeboah,
from Ghana, told police in Palmero that he boarded a dinghy in Libya
heading to Sicily last Saturday and said the men threw three of his
friends and six others into the water.
He
said: ‘About a day and a half into the crossing, at a certain point
some Muslims started to rail against us Christians just because we
practiced a different religion.
'Many
said that they should throw us into the sea. After the threats we found
ourselves in open sea and not long after they started to throw some
Christians in the sea.’
He
added: 'They tried to throw me and the other Christians still on board
as well but they didn't manage to because we held onto the boat and
clung onto each other', according to Italian newspaper Corriere della
Sera.
'We resisted for an hour and only stopped when the rescue boat arrived.’
Another
survivor Augustin told the newspaper that one of the alleged killers
was bitten on his foot by one of the people he had thrown overboard,
which helped police identify him.
He said: ‘On Sunday evening spontaneously, the people that spoke French began to rage against the Ghanaians and the Nigerians.
The men were
allegedly killed more than a day into the journey, when an argument
started about religion. Pictured: Migrants are transferred to holding

'I
don’t know why maybe because there were too many of us on board. One of
us understood what they were saying that they wanted to throw us into
the sea.
'Soon
afterwards they threw three Nigerians and six Ghanaians into the sea,
after desperate attempts by each one not to be thrown overboard.'
Augustin
added that each victim was beaten first, and that he saw each one drown
because every time someone was thrown overboard the driver stopped the
dingy.
The 15 migrants arrested over the attack on their arrival in Palermo are from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau.
The
police statement said their motive for the attack was that the victims
'professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.'
The
revelation about last week's incident follows news than more than 700
migrants are feared dead after a boat heading for Malta sank in the
Mediterranean this weekend.
A
rescue operation coordinated by the Italian coast guard involving 18
ships is still underway in the hopes of rescuing more people from the
midnight sinking off the Libyan coast, 120 miles south of the Italian
island of Lampedusa.
