'Migrants not packages' says CEI vice-president

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 20 - The deputy president of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI), Mons. Francesco Savino told ANSA on Sunday that migrants are not "packages" and warned against a "clash between powers".
    "Migrants are brothers and sisters with their dignity, not packages to be shoved from one place to another", he said.
    "As a citizen and pastor I warn against a clash of powers", said the deputy president of CEI, one day after a Rome court ruling not validating the detention of migrants at a newly opened Italian-run processing centre in Albania was slammed by leading government members who accused the judiciary of "overstepping boundaries". "I am convinced that when powers don't respect each other, the heart of democracy is at risk", he said. (ANSA).
