Two years after the violent crackdown on citizens in Chios and Lesvos who oppose the transformation of the islands into prisons for refugees and migrants, dissatisfaction with the refugee response is growing. The narrative of successful management of refugees (border security, decongestion of the islands, fast registration and identification procedures) promoted by the government does not seem to convince the islanders, who see huge new structures being built despite the decrease in the refugee population on the islands. Legal disputes, dozens of decisions of political groups, bodies and mass peaceful demonstrations unite people across different political positions once again against the government policy and the EU’s dictates for “superstructures” on the Eastern Aegean islands. read more

Le pietre di inciampo che continuiamo a calpestare senza rendercene conto sono in fondo al mare, sono congelati su barchini di fortuna e ai bordi dell’Europa. Celebrare la giornata della memoria senza rendersi conto che i campi di concentramento oggi sono in Libia, profumatamente pagati dal governo italiano, è la macchia sulle celebrazioni di questa giornata della Memoria. read more

Malta - Captain Morgan’s general manager Kevin Zammit Briffa has told a judge that the vessels used as an offshore detention centre for migrants had their registration changed from “passenger vessels” to “workboats” at around the same time that the company was engaged by government to house migrants. Captain Morgan’s general manager Kevin Zammit Briffa has told a judge that the vessels used as an offshore detention centre for migrants had their registration changed from “passenger vessels” to “workboats” at around the same time that the company was engaged by government to house migrants. Zammit Briffa was testifying in the Constitutional case filed against the Prime Minister, the Minister of Home Affairs and the State Advocate by a group of 32 migrants who were detained in what they termed a “floating prison” after Malta closed its ports in 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. read more

In Greece's northern regions, the snowstorm that hit large parts of Greece a few days ago is seriously affecting those who have been left homeless as a result of another change made late last year, when the authorities effectively stopped accepting first asylum applications on the mainland. Unless they qualify as 'vulnerable', people have had no way to claim asylum on mainland Greece, Crete or Rhodes for more than nine weeks. read more

Emergency services on Spain’s Canary Islands say 319 people, including 59 women and 24 children, were rescued from seven different boats trying to reach the archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. Walking Borders, a non-governmental organization working with migrants in the region that is often contacted by people in distress or their relatives, said at least 18 people traveling on one of the boats had died. “Rescue means were activated too late, despite having the boat’s location,” Helena Maleno, the NGO’s founder, wrote in a tweet. read more

The new detention center is located in the municipality of Abu Salim, a densely populated suburb with a large number of foreign workers. According to the photos published by the Foreign Ministry and shared by Al-Khoja, the center includes a sewing factory, a kindergarten, a school, a clinic, a gym, and a ward for orphans. “All of this is a theater, and cheap propaganda for media gain claiming that the Government of National Unity (GNU) is interested in migrants. The daily life and suffering experienced by thousands of migrants is not just a bright-coloured kindergarten while their children die of starvation, or a sewing factory while they are naked and barefoot in the streets,” said an official who attended the opening ceremony, and asked for anonymity to Libya Review. read more

The French police are intercepting more and more refugees at the border with Spain. According to the authorities, more than 13,000 people had to go back in 2021, compared to just under 6,000 in 2020. Because of the strengthened controls, migrants often find dangerous routes. The Spanish side criticises the actions of the French police. Only black people are controlled and the migrants are not informed about their rights. read more

A confidential European Union military report calls for continuing a controversial EU program to train and equip "Libya’s coast guard" and navy despite growing concerns about their treatment of migrants, a mounting death toll at sea, and the continued lack of any central authority in the North African nation. The report acknowledges the “excessive use of force” by Libyan authorities, adding that EU training is “no longer fully followed.” read more

Sono almeno 1.872 i tunisini rimpatriati a forza nel 2021 dall’Italia: ancora una volta, la loro è la cittadinanza più numerosa sul totale. Per tre associazioni impegnate in Tunisia si tratta di una «standardizzazione» dei rimpatri consentita dal fatto che questo Paese dal 2019 è considerato dall’Italia un “Paese di origine sicuro” per quanto riguarda il rispetto dei diritti. Ma, denunciano le associazioni, «al di là delle difficoltà economiche evidenti, la Tunisia affronta problematiche più profonde che si concretizzano sovente in gravi violazioni dei diritti umani». Il 2021 ha visto un record di richiedenti asilo tunisini in Italia, e però quella tunisina è la cittadinanza che subisce la peggiore percentuale di dinieghi: il 92%. read more
