Hotspot Italy: Abuses of refugees and migrants
Thousands of people continue to cross the Mediterranean, fleeing persecution, conflict and poverty, seeking protection and a decent life in Europe.
Europe’s so-called ‘hotspot approach’ to receive refugees and migrants in key arrival countries like Italy was introduced in 2015, as a way to faster identify, screen and filter all newly arrived men, women and children.
But Amnesty International’s research suggests that, in Italy, there are cases where it’s less ‘identify, screen and filter’ and more a case of ‘abuse, mislead and expel’.
