The section you quoted doesn't mention who "rescued" them.
The Libyan "coast guard" is just a bunch of traffickers and militias with fancy boats, and their job is to catch migrants and bring them back to Libya.

>Also worth mentioning that the Kurds in Afghanistan
I know what you meant, but those Kurds live in Syria.
Kurdistan is a region at the borders of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey.

That's not being honest at all.
There is no link at all between NGOs' activity in the Mediterranean and migrant arrival, and not even a shred of proof about any kind of pact or money transfer between them and traffickers.
https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65024. >We find no relationship between the presence of NGOs at sea and the number of migrants leaving Libyan shores. Although more data and further research are needed, the results of our analysis call into question the claim that non-governmental SAR operations are a pull factor of irregular migration across the Mediterranean sea.
Feel free to share any kind of source about illegal activity between NGOs and traffickers, and share them with our courts too, since they didn't find any...
