Immigrants accuse Italy of abuses

According to human rights group Amnesty International:

…"there is substantial cause for concern" over Italy's treatment of foreign migrants and asylum-seekers it detains annually in temporary stay and assistance centres, and its "lack of transparency" in operating these centres.

It is unfortunate that such reports, which until recently would have triggered a public outcry and immediate investigation, thanks to Amnesty International recent irresponsible publicity stunt and consequent loss of credibility, can now be dismissed out of hand. A loss for the world.
