Refugees at tent camp in Lecco object of racist attacks

(ANSA) - Lecco, October 1 - Asylum seekers living in a tent camp in the northern city of Lecco have been the object of verbal abuse and attacks, media reported Thursday.
    People were reported to have hurled racist insults as they drove past the camp in the Bione neighbourhood at speed.
    Bottles containing urine have also been thrown, a representative of the Arca foundation that runs the camp said.
    "There are always spiteful people who think that it is right to insult the refugees and those that help them as they drive past," said camp manager Massimo Chiodini.
