Italy Faces Setback as Court Halts Migrant Transfers to Albania

An Italian court ruling challenges the government's plan to process asylum seekers in Albania, citing safety concerns over origin countries.

• A Rome court ruled against detaining migrants in Albania, stating that Bangladesh and Egypt are not deemed safe countries for return.
• The Italian government plans to appeal the decision, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni calling for a cabinet meeting to address the issue.
• The court's decision affects a five-year agreement between Italy and Albania to process up to 3,000 migrants monthly in Albanian centers.
• Critics argue the plan sets a dangerous precedent by outsourcing asylum processing to a non-EU country, while supporters see it as innovative.
• Human rights organizations have raised concerns about the treatment and rights of migrants processed outside the EU's jurisdiction.
