A judge who ordered the return of 12 asylum seekers from a recently opened camp in Albania has now been placed under police protection. According to Italian media, the woman has received several death threats.
Silvia Albano is one of six judges at the Rome court who rejected the internment of the twelve migrants on the grounds that their countries of origin – Bangladesh and Egypt – cannot be considered safe due to an October 4 ruling by the European Court of Justice.
The judges’ association Magistratura Democratica (MD) complained on Thursday about the ‘smear campaign against the Roman judges’. This led to a “climate of hatred” and endangered the safety of the judges involved.
Criminal complaint against Salvini: prosecutors have also threatened
MD also mentioned in its statement the fact that three prosecutors in Palermo had received threats after requesting a six-year prison sentence for Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini for false imprisonment. They have recently also been equipped with security.
