Italy said on Sunday that it is transferring 49 migrants raised from the Mediterranean Sea to the new processing centers in Albania, which is the third such attempt to face courts.
Port officials said Navy ship Cassiopia with migrants is expected to arrive at the Albanian port on Tuesday morning.
The Interior Ministry said on Sunday that 53 other migrants “automatically submitted their passports” when they were told that this would prevent them from transferring to Albania, where nationality is confirmed, there is usually less in processing there. It takes time because people who are considered ineligible by Italy are sent back through the fast-track process to those applying to asylum in the European Union.
Italian judges refused to validate the detention of the first two small groups at the Albanian centers set up under a controversial agreement between Rome and Tirna.
Their cases have been sent to the European Court, which had previously established that asylum applicants cannot undergo a fast-track process that can cause repatriation if their native country is not considered completely safe.
The European court hearing on the case is to be held on 25 February.
The government of Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni vowed to re -activate the two centers in Albania that remain inactive after the decisions of the Italian courts.
The Prime Minister’s status was partially supported by a decision from the Supreme Court of Italy in late December, stating that the Italian judge cannot choose the option of government policy in deciding which countries of which countries repatriation of those migrants. For whose shelter requests have been rejected.
This decision allows the lower courts to determine such determination, in addition to determining the overall policy.
Italy has set $ 675 million (650 million euros) to run centers in five years. They opened in October to accept 3,000 male migrants raised by the Italian coast guard in the international water sector.
Human rights groups and non-governmental organizations operating in the Mediterranean Sea have dismissed the agreement as a dangerous example that confronts with international laws.
Meloni has repeatedly emphasized that the plan to process migrants outside the European Union boundaries in Albania has received strong support from other European leaders.
