Only 10% of CPR-centre migrants deported in 2023 - report

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 25 - A report released on Friday said that only 10% migrants being held at CPR pre-removal centres in Italy after being issued with expulsion orders were actually repatriated in 2023. The report by ActionAid and the Department of Political Science of the University of Bari said 2,987 people were deported last year out of 28,347.
    It said the total number of 2023 deportations goes up to 4,267 when one also considers foreigners repatriated at borders, at airports or directly from police headquarters.
    The report, entitled "Detained 2024", said the figures show the policy of holding migrants issued with deportation orders at CPRs had "failed". (ANSA).
