Italy denies asylum to all migrants sent to Albania
Immigrants in Gjadra

The asylum claims of 43 migrants at a new Italian-run processing center in Albania have been rejected, Italian officials said Thursday after six of the 49 initial arrivals, two adults judged vulnerable and four minors, were returned to Italy.

A day after videoconference hearings with the Italian Asylum Commission to review the process of applications for international protection, the response arrived on Thursday and all 43 were judged to be "manifestly unfounded."

The 43 immigrants will now have 7 days to appeal the rejection of their request.

But for the Asylum and Immigration Commission, which is on the third day of its mission in Albania with the people of the contact group for monitoring the Italian-Albanian centers, "the commission is clearly acting in continuity with the apparent will of the executive to reject asylum seekers, in disregard of international, European and constitutional law."

The Commission in fact denounces that "immigrants have not been able to seek legal assistance nor have they been able to prepare for the hearings with adequate legal information."

"We are faced with a procedure that is in fact illegitimate due to the lack of protections provided by the legislation in force," they declare.

This model, the commission adds, “has the sole objective of nullifying the right to asylum and continuing to project a negative and criminalizing image of those who arrive on our shores.” Meanwhile, decisions on the legality under international law of the detention of migrants, after two previous detention groups were declared illegal last year, leading to the banning of the much-hyped scheme, were postponed until Friday in the Italian appeals courts.

The migrants are from Egypt and Bangladesh, two countries whose territory was not fully secure in the two previous decisions.

Rome has since updated its list of safe havens, but the list still includes both countries. The scheme has sparked international interest but condemnation from rights groups.

The scheme will cost around €800 million over five years and is estimated to be able to process 3,000 migrants per month.
