Deportees tell of charter flight misery

(IFIR) Between fifty and fifty-five people were deported to Iraqi Kurdistan on the charter flight that left for Iraq on Monday morning and arrived in Erbil in on Tuesday morning
 
The flight appears to have been operated by a Czech company as the plane stopped for re-fuelling in the Czech Republic and there were apparently signs saying Czech Republic on the plane.

Lampedusa centre on fire

This morning in Lampedusa, the southern island of Europe, a revolt
started in the "Centre for identification and expulsion", following the
hunger strike of 300 detainees from Tunisia. The detention center hosts
more than 800 migrants, mostly from Tunisia. The fire destroyed most of
the building and the police had to fight the revolt with extra smoke
(teargas), it is yet unknown the number of people harmed.
