A group of activists
broadcasted a video on Youtube showing Syrian refugees detained in a closed
place in the Italian City, Katanya. The refugees told a group of Italian and
Arab activists they were abused by the Italian Authorities.
A group of Syrian children
spoke to a media activist according to Eqtsad, Zaman Alwasl Business website, that their
parents were abused, and that some Syrian women were forced to take off their
hijabs. Also, two men were beaten which caused one to break his leg and another
to break his arm.
Another group of Syrian adults
who were detained was trying to talk to media, but Italian police did not allow
them. The group then started screaming to grab the attention of the activists,
and one of the detainee screamed saying, "Bashar Al-assad is more
honorable than you!"
The video shows the Italian
activists demonstrating outside the detention place asking for a better treatment
for the Syrian refugees. T
The Italian Authorities moved the
detained refugees to a place that was not disclosed in the video.
The Syrians detained were a
group of illegal migrants who fled the war to Italy. Recently, many Syrians got
detained while trying to enter Italy illegally through the sea. A number of
them drowned near the southern shores of Italy.
Another recent case of Syrian illegal
migration to Italy ended up by police rescuing a migrant's boat heading to
South Lampedusa. The island has scarce resources and a refuge for approximately
900 migrants.
However, there is little
sympathy or none by some Italian concerning the conditions of the migrants.
Some ask the police to defend Italy against the Muslims who fled their country
and invading theirs. Some opinions voice more hatred as those are our enemies and
they threaten us and the corrupt politicians should put an end to Muslims
coming from their torn countries to take refuge in the West or to reestablish
their countries in the West.
