A report on repatriation centres in
Italy published Friday by the Council of Europe's Committee for
the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment (CPT) is based on "partial and incomplete
information", interior ministry sources said, recalling that the
Italian government on November 16 had already provided detailed
observations to respond to the report.
The same sources stressed how all health provisions for foreign
nationals held at pre-repatriation centres, including the
administration of medicines, are ordered by doctors and that
medical facilities are also present within CPRs.
They also said they were unaware of medicines being improperly
provided to guests, "a circumstance which has never been the
object of sentences issued by magistrates".
