A court in Italy has ruled against the right-wing government’s move to detain 12 migrants at newly opened centers in Albania.

The ruling was a major blow to the conservative government’s plan to have asylum claims heard in Albania instead of Italy.

A special immigration court in Rome ruled that the 12 migrants, sent to the camp at Gjader not far from the Adriatic coast in northern Albania, should be brought back to Italy because they were from countries considered unsafe to be returned to.
