Human Rights Organization: Algeria expels more than 1,800 immigrants to Niger – the seventh day

An organization concerned with immigrant rights, Niger -based, reported that the Algerian authorities earlier this month had an unprecedented deportation campaign, as it arrested more than 1,800 immigrants and left them at the Niger border.

The “Desert Warning Phone”, which monitors the immigration movement in the region, said that the migrants had been transferred with buses to a remote desert area known as the “point zero” after their arrest in Algerian cities.

Abdulaziz Sheikho, the organization’s national coordinator, told the Associated Press Thursday that 1845 immigrants had no legal status in Algeria, upon their arrival in the border city of Asamaka in Niger after the collective expulsion on April 19.

He added that this raised the total number of deported immigrants who arrived in Asamaka during this month to more than 4 thousand people.
