Amnesty International Italy on
Tuesday slammed Austria's decision to put up a barrier on its
side of the Brenner Pass on the Italian border. "Austria has
decided to raise... an obstacle that will create a situation
similar to Idomeni," Amnesty International Italy Director Gianni
Rufini said. "We will find ourselves with improvised camps and a
humanitarian crisis...that this should happen today on European
soil is disappointing and depressing". Refugees from Syria and
other war zones have languished in limbo in a makeshift camp at
Idomeni in Greece at the Macedonia border for months.
Humanitarian group Doctors without Borders (MSF) said police
injured children and adults with tear gas and rubber bullets
during clashes there two days ago.
