Migrants, the CIE* and the hotspots reminding of Lager. Between dirt, cold and loss of dignity
/in Caltanissetta /by Borderline SiciliaMeridioNews.it – The first report of the National Guarantor for the Rights of Detained and Semi-Detained Persons focuses on a long series of shortfalls which characterise the stay of foreign citizens arriving in Italy.

The directors of the local post office branches, again in virtue of this agreement, see themselves in turn as members of the government, with […]
