Migrants from Egypt, Bangladesh and Syria are leaving from Cyrenaica under Marshal Haftar's control. Departures from the shores of this region have multiplied in recent months, causing renewed attention from the Italian authorities. People are transported in fishing boats since the crossing is longer and deemed even more dangerous, and are most often rescued off Calabria and Sicily, Italy. read more

Poland has begun building a razor wire fence along its 210-km-long border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to try to keep out people coming from the Middle East and North Africa, as well as to give locals a greater sense of “security.” Poland has already built a fence along its eastern border with Belarus; now the intention is to “protect” the region bordering Kaliningrad on the country's northern frontier with a similar fence, supplemented by cameras, tripwire and motion detectors. read more

According to the Greek Migration Minister, the people were rescued from “high seas, south of Crete.” Notis Mitarachi is keen on deporting those who have just arrived to other European countries and will ask “the EU Commission to activate relocations to other member states as part of EU solidarity”, as announced in a tweet. read more

Meanwhile Europe is concerned about deterring people from reaching its shores, financing the Libyan Coast Guard to intercept those fleeing the country and force them back into detention centres where they are severely abused. On Tuesday afternoon (November 22), MEPs will debate the alarming situation in Libya in plenary for the first time in four years. read more

The Court of Appeal of Aix-en-Provence rejected the retention in the international waiting area of large part of the asylum seekers who arrived in Toulon. The political decision announced on Friday (November 11) was that the 177 adult survivors would be kept “for a maximum of twenty days” in a designated area, as a way to avoid official entry into French territory while studying their “eligibility to apply for asylum.” The difficulty of managing such a number of files according to the legal framework was not taken into consideration, leading to a legal chaos potentially undermining migrants’ rights. read more
