Forced eviction of migrants by police in Rome draws widespread condemnation
Forced eviction of migrants by police in Rome draws widespread condemnation
Relations between Rome's migrant community and the police hit a low this week after forced eviction and water cannons were used to empty a square of migrants protesting their accommodation options. More than 800 people of mainly Ethiopian and Eritrean origin were forcibly removed from a building in Rome on Saturday, August 19th, leading to subsequent clashes between security forces and the evictees. Four hundred of the tenants abandoned the squatted building while at least 100 set up tents in a square beside it and remained for five days, apparently to protest the lack of available accommodation alternatives. https://www.thelocal.it/20170825/for...d-condemnation |
