About 40 workers from the
non-profit migrant NGO Salam staged a demonstration on Monday in
front of the city's government building, protesting that they
are owed four months of back wages.
Salam works with the local prefecture, police, and the city
government in the field of immigration and assistance to
refugees, 267 more of whom arrived to the local port on an
Italian Coast Guard ship Monday, after having been rescued about
40 km off the Libyan port of Zuwara.
Some immigrants were also present at the demonstration, and
said that the lack of disbursement of State funds was forcing
them to live in a situation of "great distress and deteriorating
sanitary conditions".
