The thread links to an article in La Stampa, one of Italy's largest newspapers, where Catania's chief prosecutor explains how they've found proof that at least some NGOs coordinate with human traffickers to ferry people over to Italy.
Some comments, now removed, presciently predicted that the thread would be removed by the subreddit's biased moderators, and soon enough that's exactly what happened. The thread has been removed and locked, and a moderator has stickied a link to a previous thread on NGOs, where however the OP article is about **defending** them. In that same thread, a sourced comment explaining why this defense of NGOs doesn't stand up to scrutiny has been removed:
