About half of the 43 migrants brought
back to Italy in recent days from an Italian-run repatriation
center in Albania have filed an appeal against the denial of
their request for international protection, ANSA sources said
Thursday.
The migrants, who come from Egypt and Bangladesh, arrived in
Bari last Saturday, after the decision of the judges of the
Court of Appeal of Rome not to validate their detention in the
Gjader center.
They are the third batch of migrants taken to the non-EU country
the innovative but controversial Meloni government scheme to
deter departures who have seen their detention quashed pending a
European Court of Justice ruling, expected later this month.
The detentions were nixed under a previous ECJ ruling, which did
not concern Italy, that Egypt and Bangladesh are not wholly safe
for repatriation on all their territories.
