An Italian navy ship has taken migrants to Italy from asylum processing centres in Albania following a court decision in Rome and is bringing them back to Italy. It was the third failed attempt by Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government to process migrants in the non-EU country.
An Italian appeals court on Friday refused to approve the speedy expulsion of 43 asylum seekers detained in Albania under a controversial migration deal to move the proceedings beyond the European Union’s borders.
The appeals court in Rome referred the case to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, which is expected to issue a ruling on Feb. 25 related to the previous cases.
Lorenzo Trucco, President of Italy’s Association of Juridical Studies on Immigration praised the decision but was concerned it was only a small step to protect migrants whose basic rights are being increasingly overlooked.

Migrants from the Middle East are trying to violently force their way into Poland at the border with Belarus. They’ve broken through the wire fencing. They want to go to Germany & Northern Europe for the generous public benefits. pic.twitter.com/WHP2LaQLGX
