Europe Migrant Crisis

France: Tunisian Enters Nice Basilica Threatening Staff and Shouting in Arabic

by Leave a Comment

Nearly a year after the deadly terror attack that saw three people murdered by a Tunisian national, another Tunisian entered the Nice Basilica and threatened staff while yelling in Arabic.

The incident took place on Monday at around 6 p.m. and saw a 26-year-old illegal migrant from Tunisia enter the Nice Basilica and start screaming in Arabic before spitting on the floor and then leaving.

The Tunisian migrant came back ten minutes later and threatened the sacristan, a Roman Catholic church official in charge of preparing for liturgical celebrations and other duties, Actu17 reports.

“The sacristan, who had been informed of the previous intrusion, approached the suspect as he began screaming in Arabic and spitting on the ground again. The man was threatening and he decided to trigger the emergency call button,” a source told the news website.

Police soon arrived and were able to apprehend the Tunisian as the church official had followed the migrant, keeping officers informed of his location. The 26-year-old was then taken into custody and was found to be intoxicated.

Nice’s Mayor Christian Estrosi commented on the incident, saying: “Thank you to the municipal police who, an alert button was activated, arrested an individual who allegedly spat, shouted in Arabic, and threatened the sacristan… Justice must be extremely harsh as we soon commemorate the attack of October 29, 2020.”

On October 29th of last year, Tunisian illegal immigrant Brahim Aouissaoui entered the Nice Basilica and murdered three people, leaving several others injured before he was stopped by police.

A report from earlier this year revealed text messages from the Tunisian’s phone that indicated he originally wanted to carry out an attack in Paris but was unable to get a train to the French capital due to the cost of the ticket.

Just three months ago, police arrested a 27-year-old man on a terrorism watchlist after he had made death threats at the Nice Basilica, shouting: “I’m going to come back, and I’m going to kill you all.”

The man is currently being held in jail until his trial.

Earlier this year in Nantes, another migrant, a 40-year-old from Rwanda, allegedly murdered a local priest. The alleged murder came months after the same migrant had set the Nantes cathedral on fire but later released from custody.

Poland Passes Law to Turn Away Migrants at Border and Build a Wall

by Leave a Comment

The Polish parliament has passed a new law that will see illegal migrants turned away at the border and banned from entering Poland for a number of years, and a wall on the border with Belarus funded.

The legislation was passed on Thursday by Poland’s parliament, and will allow Polish border guards to turn away migrants at the border and push them back to the country they illegally crossed from.

The law also states that anyone caught entering Poland illegally will be banned from entering the country again from a period of six months to three years, and also states that asylum claims from those who have entered Poland illegally can be ignored, broadcaster SVT reports.

According to the EU-funded website InfoMigrnats, there are exceptions for asylum seekers who have come directly from a country where their lives and freedoms are threatened and have not stopped in other countries before coming to Poland.

Polish lawmakers have also given the go-ahead to build a wall on the roughly 250-mile border with Belarus, estimated to cost around  €353 million.

The former Soviet Socialist Republic is believed to be engineering the surge in crossings by migrants — originally from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, for the most part — in order to punish Poland for sheltering Belarusian dissidents.

Poland’s Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski said the wall would be a “solid high barrier with a surveillance system of cameras and movement sensors.”

A similar barrier has been built in Greece along the country’s land border with Turkey and is also equipped with “extremely technologically advanced” surveillance systems according to the Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis.

Both Greece and Poland are among 12 signatories to a letter addressed to the European Union earlier this month which called on the political bloc to do more to tackle illegal immigration.

Tensions along the border with Belarus have increased in recent weeks, with reports that Belarusian forces opened fire at Polish personnel stations along the border, although no one was injured during the inciden.

A spokeswoman for the Polish border guard speculated that the shots fired were not live ammunition.

Brussels: Majority of Food Delivery Drivers are Illegal Migrants

by Leave a Comment

A Belgian media investigation has revealed that the majority of food delivery drivers working in the EU capital are illegal immigrants using “fake” accounts.

The media investigation by the newspaper Le Soir saw journalists interview dozens of different delivery drivers working on the streets of Brussels and found that all of them were young men between the ages of 18 and 30 and at least half admitted they were in the country illegally.

According to a report from the public broadcaster RTBF, the delivery drivers come from North and West Africa, Pakistan, Syria, Afghanistan, and South America and often do not speak either French, Dutch, Spanish or English.

Nada Ladraa, a leader for the Christian Workers’ Movement, explained that “undocumented delivery drivers today make up the majority of the workforce of the platforms in Brussels,” and said that the coronavirus pandemic and a worsening of working conditions had led more and more illegals to take up the jobs as others supposedly did not want to.

Deliveroo, one of the major food delivery services operating in Belgium, stated that it has a zero-tolerance policy toward illegal activity and said it would stop working with anyone who allowed their account to be used by people not eligible to work in Belgium.

However, the company also noted that “To date, we have received very few concrete reports of such illegal activities that would allow us to act. When they reached us, we took the measures imposed and collaborated with the police.”

Uber Eats, meanwhile, stated that it has a system that requires the courier to take a selfie in order to prove their identity and if the selfie does not match the person tied to the account, the account is deleted.

Illegal migrant delivery drivers are not a phenomenon unique to Belgium and are present in other European countries, such as France where an illegal migrant Uber Eats driver was arrested for raping a woman in her home in 2019.

Illegal Migrant Arrivals up 51 Per Cent in Spain So Far in 2021

by Leave a Comment

The number of illegal migrant arrivals in Spain from January to the end of September has increased by 51 per cent, according to figures released by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior.

The Spanish Interior Ministry has reported that in the first nine months of 2021, a total of 28,729 migrants have arrived illegally in Spanish territory, compared to 19,024 during the same period last year. In the month of January, 3,000 arrived, with that number almost tripling in September, which saw 8,451 arrivals.

Around 95 per cent of the arrivals have come to Spain by sea, either to the Spanish mainland or to the Canary Islands off the coast of West Africa, for a total of 27,136 migrants — a figure 65 per cent larger than in 2020, newspaper ABC reports.

According to the newspaper, of the three main routes that have contributed to the 51 per cent overall increase in arrivals, the Canary Islands route has seen the most growth, more than doubling from 6,124 to 13,118.

The Canaries route is also regarded as one of the most dangerous for migrants, with 785 of the just over 1,050 migrants who have died or gone missing on their way to Spain doing so en route to the islands, which are popular with British holidaymakers and expatriates.

There are several factors for the increase in arrivals, including relaxed coronavirus travel restrictions and a worsening economy in African countries like Morocco and Algeria.

When it comes to the known national origin of the migrants arriving in Spain, Algerians make up the largest share at 39 per cent, followed by Moroccans at 20 per cent, and Malians at 13 per cent.

However, ABC notes that the vast majority of illegals refuse to state their origin country — so that is is harder to deport them.

The illegal migration figures come as Spain has begun flying in Afghan migrants from Pakistan, with a flight from Islamabad arriving with 160 migrants on Wednesday following another flight that contained 84.

The Afghans arrived at the Torrejón airbase and add to the 2,206 Afghan nationals and Spanish nationals evacuated from the country since it fell to Taliban forces in August.

The operation to bring in Afghans from Pakistan comes after Spain’s populist VOX party vice president Jorge Buxadé warned of potential jhadist elements among the migrants, saying: “We must be very strict with the entry control of all those who intend to seek refuge or legal residence in Spain.”

Italy: Pakistanis Arrested After 13-Year-Old Boy Raped in Public Park

by Leave a Comment

Police arrested two Pakistani asylum seekers in the northern Italian city of Aosta for allegedly raping a 13-year-old boy in a public garden.

Ali Raza, 25, and 23-year-old Usama Mazhar were said to have spent Friday afternoon with the boy, with the three of them having been seen drinking alcohol.

That evening, the two Pakistanis, who were granted subsidiary protection in Italy, took the young teen to the gardens near the Aosta train station and raped him, newspaper La Repubblica reports.

According to investigators, a witness passing by saw the abuse and called the police, who later arrived on the scene and found the teen in a state of shock.

The victim was taken to a hospital and was only released on Sunday, while the two Pakistanis were tracked down by police and arrested.

The case echoes another incident of child abuse that took part in the city of Brindisi in 2018, when two Pakistani nationals were accused of raping a boy who was waiting for a train at the city’s railway station.

As in Aosta, both of the Pakistani men were in their twenties and the victim had to be taken to a hospital due to the severity of the sexual abuse he had suffered.

Earlier this year, another case came to light involving two Pakistani migrants in Rome, who allegedly forcibly confined a 19-year-old German woman and are said to have sexually abused her over a period of several months before she was able to escape and alert authorities.

Reports stated that the woman had moved to Italy with her 29-year-old Pakistani boyfriend some two years prior to the incident and had shared it with her boyfriend’s 36-year-old Pakistani friend. After the woman escaped, police arrested the pair.
