A case from 2015 is currently being shared again on Facebook. It's about "Muslims who are said to have thrown twelve Christians overboard in the Mediterranean".
The article in question is once again the Tagesspiegel report, according to which “Muslims are said to have thrown twelve Christians overboard in the Mediterranean.”
We first received inquiries about this in 2016, and now it is being shared again:

The fact check

The public prosecutor requested a life sentence for the defendants. The court acquits 8 migrants, sentences 6 others to 18 years and the smuggler to 4 years in prison. According to the lawyers, “the witness statements collected were contradictory.” (Compare here and here )
The Deadly Fight Between Muslims and Christians on a Refugee Boat, SPIEGEL editor Fiona Ehlers sheds light on the various aspects of the case and comes to the conclusion that “Criminal Case 7209/2015 is a case that can be twisted and turned and can hardly be solved . A case that only knows losers.”
Conclusion
Yes, in April 2015 several refugees drowned during a boat crossing in the Mediterranean. The case was taken to court and several defendants were convicted.
Topics surrounding refugees, especially those linked to religion or politics, are more relevant than ever. By sharing it again without any indication of the date or background, the case appears as if it had happened just a few days ago.

We should never forget where fanaticism leads in any form and from any direction, left, right, front, back, above, below, whether religiously based or political, or or or, something that makes human, humane coexistence as difficult as possible, or makes it completely impossible.
Whenever a radical idea becomes an ideology, a belief, there is a great danger that humanity will fall by the wayside.
