Ship in Albania ready to take migrants back to Bari

Acoast guard ship that departed from the Puglia port city of Brindisi has reached Gjader, in Albania, where 12 migrants staying at a newly-opened Italian-run hosting and repatriation centre will be taken back to Italy on Saturday. On Friday, the special immigration unit of Rome's tribunal did not validate the detention of all 12 migrants who were taken Wednesday to the Gjader centre on the grounds that their countries of provenance, Bangladesh and Egypt, are not safe, ruling the migrants must be taken back to Italy. The migrants will be boarding the coast guard vessel on Saturday and travel to Bari where they will be staying at a hosting centre for asylum seekers, according to well-informed sources.
