Nine survivors of a migrant boat sinking off the coast of Greece, which may have carried as many as 750 passengers, have been arrested on suspicion of smuggling. The trawler capsized early on Wednesday morning with only 104 survivors being found so far, all men and boys. Greek authorities have been criticised for failing to act before the ship capsized, with a coast guard vessel escorting the trawler for hours. Legal experts have suggested that the migrants' repeated refusals for assistance is no excuse for the lack of intervention.
