CIE - Extension of Detention Period Rejected
The House has decided that art. 5 of the legislative decree providing for the extension of time of detention to six months be deleted
There has been a new CPT setback. During the debate on Bill 733 (the one containing among other things the abolition of the ban on reporting by doctors) the Senate had already eliminated the provision extending the period of detention of irregular migrants to one year and six months in detention centres.
But the Ministry of the Interior, unable retreat on the government of migration by imprisonment (supposedly pending deportation) had re-proposed a similar rule within the so-called (...)

Patras – We Need Help
The direct testimony of the refugees in the Patras camp

The Road to Lampedusa – The Hell is now lasting 6 months
Decree extends detention period in the CIE
Here is the content of the decree into force from the 25th of February 2009
The legal framework regarding administrative arrest, which has been already seriously restricted, failed its purpose with the recent events in Lampedusa. Lots of migrants have been confined for months out of any legitimacy in the CPAS complex, a place where to spend at most 48 hours. Then a decree (not public yet) has intervened to modify the characteristics of the complex: from a first aid place it become a detention centre (today CIE). But all this was not enough. The road to Lampedusa… (...)

Europe – Sanctions Directive: Migrants Pay the Highest Price
Nicola Flamigni
A European regular immigration policy cannot exist without a credible policy on irregular migration. Starting from this premise a common immigration policy is being built. It is certainly, easier, in a Europe of twenty-seven, to build consensus on punitive measures than on measures promoting legal immigration. (This is especially the case when the nature of the decision-making process is clearly against it, being as it is, based on unanimity rather than on a specific majority. The (...)

Lampedusa – the landings restart and the island resists.
Fulvio Vassallo Paleologo, University of Palermo
They have failed and are defending themselves with censorship and intimidation
Lampedusa has disappeared from the mainstream media and the political / media regime continues to promote the mission of its hierarchy and its police, in Tunisia, Libya and Nigeria, to demonstrate the effectiveness of bilateral agreements and the rigor of their "policies against illegal immigration". They are certain in this way to continue to multiply electoral consensus, by first distributing artful alarmism, and then proposing false remedies, to a public manipulated by the major TV (...)

The detention centers on Lampedusa like Trapani Vulpitta in 1999?
Fulvio Vassallo Paleologo, University of Palermo
Because the centres on Lampedusa are detention centers, they both lack the prerequisites and documents needed to operate. Like the Trapani Vulpitta centre, where in 1999 six migrants lost their lives due to a fire in a cell which was locked with bolts and iron bars, so is the new reception center on Lampedusa on the Loran base and the old reception center, now known as the CIE (Center for identification and expulsion) of Imbriacola contrada. Both centres lack the fire certificates and (...)

How a child dies in Venice
11-year-old Afghan boy dies to avoid controls by the border police
He was fifteen years old. No, he was twelve. Maybe, in reality, he was only eleven. As the day progressed, his age changed several times, turning increasingly younger. In any case, he was a boy. He was found dead in Via Orlanda in Mestre, Venice, run over by the lorry under which he had hidden to escape the checks by the border police. Why, one would wonder, does an Afghan minor, a figure that is well protected by international conventions, by the ECHR, and even by the Bossi-Fini law [on (...)

Milan. Murder of Abdul – The social tensions and the intolerance politics
Initiatives in the city starting from schools, while one might question about the results of security politics.
Abdul Salam Guibre, a 19 year-old Burkina Faso native but Italian citizen, is dead after being attacked with bar blows on Zuretti Street in Milan.
The issue at hand, whether the omicide was racially motivated or an unfortunate set of coincidences, or whether the answer lies in the politics displayed by the new government, exercising exagerated security measures, capable of ploughing through policies held in place by a previous administration.
The reality speaks for itself, a deceased young (...)

Libya must stop the migrants leaving the country. But at what price?
A new movie shows what happens to the migrants in Libya while Europe pretends to not know.
Minister Maroni said that Libya doesn’t respect the agreements took with Italy because it lets hundreds of clandestines leave its coasts.
He spoke at the Lega Nord annual party, in Venice, receiving general applauses.
Next to him there was Angela Maraventano, deputy mayor and Lega Nord Senator that comes from Lampedusa. She started managing a pizza-restaurant and then went into politics taking advantage of the “landing panic” that from her island has been diffused in the whole Italy. (...)
