Article-Summary: 

After weeks in international limbo, an aid agency ship carrying 37 shipwrecked African men won permission to dock in Italy. A relief worker and two crew were later arrested, and officials claimed that some immigrants had lied about coming from Darfur in Sudan, which is in a humanitarian crisis. The German aid group Cap Anamur said its ship came across a dinghy carrying the 37 men in the Mediterranean on June 20. The agency said some identified themselves as refugees from Darfur.
