(ANSAmed) - ROME, NOVEMBER 3 - A senior interior ministry
official on Thursday denied allegations of beatings, abuse and
illegal expulsions at asylum-seeeker hotspots in Italy in a
report by Amnesty International. "It is totally false that the
police use violence on migrants," said Prefect Mario Morcone,
the head of the interior ministry's migration department. "I was
disconcerted to read such stupidity. Amnesty compiles its
reports in London, not in Italy". (ANSAmed).
