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

Un porto di destinazione, ma non un «Pos», per la Mare Jonio; l’attesa della concessione di un «Pos», un porto sicuro, per la Louise Michel all’ancora al di sotto di Lampedusa; il continuo pattugliamento del tratto di mare tra Libia e Tunisia della ormai stracarica di migranti nave Geo Barents. Mentre a Lampedusa proseguono gli sbarchi «autonomi» o quelli avvenuti grazie ai salvataggi della Guardia costiera che solo la notte scorsa ha soccorso 109 persone su due barche, le tre navi umanitarie delle Ong seguono al momento destini diversi. read more

At a meeting of EU ministers to address an emergent ‘crisis’ of irregular migration, Fabrice Leggeri, executive director of Frontex, emphasised balancing respect for human rights with the need to manage migration across Europe’s borders and seemed to suggest a lack of clarity in EU policy was the real issue. While many EU member states and individual MEPs have expressed concern over the EU neglecting the human rights of migrants, the dominant focus overall remains on reducing irregular migration. The loudest calls for action at the meeting, from interior ministers of member states such as Italy, Poland, and Greece, were to increase EU border enforcement and crack down on "smugglers’ networks". read more

The Prime Minister has reportedly given Home Secretary Priti Patel the go-ahead to develop new powers that would allow male asylum seekers crossing the Narrow Sea to be held in immigration removal centres. Currently only migrants who land on the UK coast are breaking the law and can be detained, rather than those intercepted in the Channel. But the proposed Nationality and Borders Bill would make it a criminal offence to be found in a vessel in the Channel without pre-authorisation to enter the UK. Offenders will face a maximum prison sentence of four years under the new law. read more
