"The Greek authorities have previously denied this, claiming that when they tried to tie a rope to the boat to come aboard and assess the situation, people on board tried to remove it, saying they wanted to travel on to Italy. "

They probably tried to remove it because towing an old ship full of hundreds of people is really dangerous.
This is messed up and should never have happened.
