		</div><p>An Italian prosecutor has ordered the seizure of the Spanish rescue ship Open Arms and the evacuation of the more than 80 migrants still on board, according to reports.</p>
<p>The move caps a dramatic day that saw some 15 migrants jump in the sea to escape the ship after being frustrated and angry at the 19 days they were stuck at sea.</p>
<p>With the help of Italian rescue workers, those swimmers reached the shores of the nearby Italian island of Lampedusa.</p>
<p>But Open Arms said that made operations onboard “desperate” and “intolerable” for the remaining migrants.</p>
<p>Spain tried to end the spiralling humanitarian crisis by dispatching a naval ship to escort the Open Arms back to Spain.</p>
<p>News agency ANSA said Sicilian Prosecutor Luigi Patronaggio ordered the seizure after visiting the ship and meeting with port authorities.</p>
<p>Mr Patronaggio is investigating possible charges of kidnapping against Italy’s hard-line interior minister, Matteo Salvini, who has refused to allow the migrants on shore despite offers from six countries to take them.</p>
