Italy Implements Stricter Measures to Curb Migrant Influx
The Italian government has passed tougher measures to address the surge in migrant arrivals, including extending the detention period for migrants without legal rights to stay and increasing efforts for repatriation. The move comes after nearly 10,000 migrants reached the island of Lampedusa last week, posing a challenge to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's promise to curb illegal immigration. However, the opposition and rights groups have criticized the measures, citing concerns about violations of fundamental rights in detention centers.
