Slaughterer Zionist Israel moves African migrants to new facility

Israel moves African migrants to new facility

Zionist regime of Israel has started transferring African migrants to a new detention facility in the Negev Desert, sparking criticism from immigrants’ rights advocates.

Spokeswoman for Israel’s prison services, Sivan Weitzman, said on Thursday that around 500 migrants were moved to the new facility.

She added that the number would increase to 1,000 by the end of December.

On Monday, the Israeli parliament, Knesset, approved a law allowing officials to keep African migrant workers in detention facilities without trial for one year.

The law also gives Israel the right to send immigrants to complexes called “open facilities” — until they are deported or voluntarily go back to their homelands. Migrants kept in the open facilities will have no right to work.

Critics of the new law have described the open facilities as prisons, predicting the new law will be challenged in the Supreme Court.

More than 50,000 African immigrants, mostly from Sudan and Eritrea, currently work in low-paying jobs in the occupied Palestinian lands called Israel.
