Italy's migrant detentions in Albania blocked by court after first legal challenge succeeds
ai generated text
The court in Rome has rejected the detention of 12 migrants, who will be vetted for possible asylum in Italy or to be sent back to their countries of origin. This suggests that the Italian government's plan is not absolute and that some migrants may still be granted asylum in Italy.
New ways to prevent and counter irregular migration should be considered.
This project is … an extraordinary tool of deterrence.
Italians have asked me to stop illegal immigration, and I will do everything possible to keep my word.
Some politicised magistrates have decided there are no safe countries of origin, that it is impossible to hold those who arrive illegally, and it is forbidden to repatriate clandestine migrants. They want to abolish the borders of Italy — we will not let them.
The rejection of the individuals' detention in structures in Albania equated to Italian border or transit zones … is due to the impossibility of recognising the states of origin of the detained individuals as 'safe countries'.
We did not discuss anything about the Netherlands sending refugees to Uganda, we did not.
We will appeal all the way to the court of cassation. We will continue with what Italy is achieving in Albania, and beyond, it will become European law.
I'm proud of the Italians, how they do it.
Aside from being a logistical and financial nonsense, it's a cruel system that breaches international and EU law and puts people at risk of being abused with no clear options to get justice and remedies.
