The Isreali government has built a 9,000 person capacity detention
facility in the southern desert where illegal African Immigrants would
be detained. According to the Isreali government, the illegal immigrants
who seek asylum in the country are becoming a burden to the govt
and so they would be moved from the Shaharonim detention centre were
they are presently being held to the new facility, a place human rights group
have called a De-facto prison.
In
this new facility which is situated in the desert, the immigrants will be locked down at night, and forced to
check-in with
the Israeli authorities three times per day. They will also be barred
from working outside the centre. Continue after the break.
