Amnesty slams Austria Brenner Pass move

(ANSA) - Rome, April 12 - 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.
