(Euronews) A court in Rome has suspended the approval of detention orders for seven migrants who were relocated last week to a repatriation centre in Albania established by Italy.
Monday’s ruling has blocked the Italian government’s efforts for the second time to implement its plan to outsource the reception and repatriation of migrants, as part of an agreement signed with Tirana last year.
The seven asylum seekers are from Egypt and Bangladesh, the two countries at the center of an ongoing dispute between the judiciary and the government.
The conflict began when the government appealed a similar decision from last month to the Court of Cassation, which is expected to rule on the case in December.
