In Italy, four migrants sewed up their mouths in protest

According to Italian media, the four natives of Africa, who were detained and held in a special center near Rome, sewn up their mouths, thereby protesting their detention.

Four people from North Africa took part in this "action", two of whom are twenty years old, and the other two are already thirty. As it turned out recently, a man who knocked out his friends for a terrible act of protest should have been deported from the country this Monday.

In order to express their dissatisfaction with the Italian authorities, the four detainees used parts from a lighter as a needle, and they pulled the threads from the blankets on which they slept. All of them were immediately provided with medical care. Italian authorities claim that there have never been such incidents in the country.

After the mayor of Rome, Ignazio Marino, was informed of what had happened, he called for increased public debate and discussions on “anti-human centers” where migrants are held in terrible conditions, as well as to discuss the legislation of those countries from which migrants flee, driven by poverty and by violence.

The Italian authorities had earlier promised to conduct an inspection of special isolation centers, in which refugees find temporary shelter. This decision was made after one of the local TV channels got a video that clearly demonstrates the poor conditions in which migrants who have arrived on the island of Lampedusa have to live.

The Syrian, who is located in this very center, managed to take a telephone picture of how migrants are treated for scabies. People are forced to leave the premises on the street, where they must take off all their clothes, after which they are watered. In this "procedure", both men and women are simultaneously involved.

The author of the video claims that migrants living in the isolation center on the island of Lampedusa are required to undergo this collective disinfection every three days.

Many countries in Europe and Italy in particular, faced a huge influx of refugees from Syria and Africa after a conflict broke out in their region. A report by the UN Commissariat for Refugees, released a couple of months ago, indicated that nearly three million Syrians fled the country to neighboring states.

The influx of illegal immigrants to Italy was so great that the authorities even appointed a special department directly involved in patrolling the Mediterranean. This decision was made in connection with the increased number of deaths of refugees when trying to get to Italy by sea.

In early October, a ship carrying illegal migrants wrecked, killing more than 400 people. Shortly after this incident, another boat with refugees from Africa turned over 60 kilometers off the coast of Italy.

Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said in October that a special squad of rescuers, which is about 500 people, will daily patrol various sections of the Mediterranean Sea.
