A group of 14 migrants from
Eritrea, Mali, Senegal and Gambia were stopped by Austrian
authorities on Monday, having departed Italy on a train heading
to Germany.
Austrian authorities sent the migrants back to the Brenner
train station across the Austrian border in Italy, where they
were taken to the Italian authorities.
Italy is experiencing an increase in migrant arrivals, up
59% since the beginning of 2015 from the same period last year,
according to Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni.
Many migrants view Italy as a first stop to reach target
destinations in northern Europe.
