Right of asylum

The transfer of men and women already present on Italian territory on “quarantine ships” is illegal and must be stopped

October 13, 2020 - Tommaso Fusco
The fear expressed by lawyers and rights-based associations month ago, at the time of the initial adoption of “quarantine ships” as a response measure is proving to be well-founded: the quarantine ships, now far from being an exceptional measure designed only for people rescued at sea, risk now becoming a new place for detention of documented migrants and potentially also for Italian citizens.

Migrant detention in Covid-19 times

July 20, 2020 - Flaminia Delle Cese
What is the point of holding foreign nationals in immigration detention centres at a time when the limitation of international mobility prevents returns? Does it make sense to deprive of their personal liberty individuals who have not committed a crime and who in 50% of cases will be released from detention centres as irregular migrants? What sense is there in providing for quarantine periods on ships for persons landed on the Italian coasts, when the thousands of people arriving by air or across land borders are no longer obliged to undergo this measure? With its dossier, the Italian Coalition for Civil Liberties and Rights aims to demonstrate the ineffectiveness, inutility and huge cost - in human and economic terms - of places of detention for foreigners.

The agriculture emergency in Italy: three proposals to solve the crisis and protect everyone’s rights

April 23, 2020 - Sara Manisera and Janos Chiala
During the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, much was said about “essential workers”, meaning those people whose job cannot be halted without serious repercussions on society. This category includes farm labourers, the invisible people who, often times exploited, work in Italian farmlands to ensure an uninterrupted supply of fruit and vegetables. Sara Manisera and Janos Chiala, from the Taurianova ghetto, explain how this crisis could be solved protecting everyone’s rights.

Regularisation of migrants. One step forward, but much more could be done

May 18, 2020 - Andrea Oleandri
The impression that many gathered from the proposed measures to regularise foreign workers is that it they are targeting more “us” and our needs (fruit and vegetables that risk staying unpicked in the crops, the elderly and the sick who will need assistance when the people they live with go back to work), than “them” and their right to dignity. It is one step forward, that is for sure, but with how many missed opportunities? Andrea Oleandri analyses them.

May 27, 2020 - Giacomo Zandonini
Detention of irregular migrants is still the main instrument used to track down and repatriate unwelcome people, even when - like during a pandemic - this is not allowed. Giacomo Zandonini tells us how the Coronavirus emergency in Europe is leaving migrants’ detention unchanged.
